The myth of the Indigo Child exploits parental desire for their autistic children to not be defective in any way, and replaces their fear with arrogance.

There is no valid empirical evidence to even suggest that autistic children are any more (or less) "special" than other children.


Yeah this has the makings of a major league con job.

People need to learn to understand that people being on the spectrum is not a defect, we just look at things from a different standpoint.
