It's not ADD, it's an Indigo kid!
Hey parents, does your kid have the symptoms of attention deficit disorder? Have you always wanted your kid to be really, really special? Well don't get them treatment for ADD. Declare them gifted kids with paranormal powers instead! Use your delusion and share it with your kids, making them the focal point of your "dropped too much acid in the '60s and '70s" beliefs.
Meet a so-called Indigo child here. It's apparently what passes for news on ABC these days.
Then swing over to skepticreport.com for their take on indigo kids. The people that popularized the concept have some, shall we say, interesting ideas. They also like to turn their ideas into cash. I wonder though, are indigo kids kind of like ginger kids? I hope not! They don't have souls!
Then head for an old newsletter from the Amazing Randi, where he quotes a reader's submission that includes a checklist to determine if you're an indigo kid (search the page for the word "indigo"). From the look of the questionnaire, most teenagers will qualify. Woohoo! We must be surrounded by kids with supernatural powers!
It's oddly amusing and yet really sad. These kids are encouraged and even at times led by their own parents to believe that they have these supernatural powers, that they are the next step in human evolution or some such nonsense. Evidence is not needed. They know they're special!
Bonus weirdness - Wikipedia's entry on Emily Rose. You may remember last year's film "The Exorcism of Emily Rose". The girl's real name was Anneliese Michel. She was supposedly possessed by the following demons - Lucifer (the devil himself), Cain, Nero, Judas, Fleischmann (who might have been a disgraced priest in Franken, living in the 17th Century), and Hitler. She had some heavy hitters in there! Well, that's with the exception of that Fleischmann guy. Next to the sinners in that list, he's like the Star Trek red shirt of demons. The poor guy/demon is just out of his league. Kidding aside, Anneliese's story ended tragically. She should have been getting medical attention and instead she was getting more exorcisms and then died in her sleep.
