May as well warn you, but you will likely get a pretty skeptical response to this. These things are too imprecise for the tastes of many on the spectrum.

I would rather call myself a Indigo kid, than an ass-burger. In my opinion the worst name of a behavioral disorder I've ever heard.

I think your pronunciation is a bit off.

Labels don't carry that much weight for me. Asperger's has an unfortunate alliteration only in American English. It sounds just fine to a German. It probably sounds like a foreign word in most languages. Seeing as most New Age ideas are built on universality, it seems unfair to disparage the word Asperger's simply because American's butcher the pronunciation.

I would like to think I was different for a special purpose but my logical mind tells me genetics and conditioning are what make me who I am.

I am highly skeptical of this, but I will be honest that my heart thinks there is some truth to this (as in the world will raise to a higher consciousness more so than we have done in the past).

Labels carry a lot of weight for me because I believe you start adopting characteristics of a name you label yourself with - that's why the #1 rule of hip-hop is, change your name and break yourself off a history you didn't create.

As for the indigo thing, I actually believe it fully it just makes perfect sense to me.

I know there's lots of people out there that just completely ignore the label of aspergers, but they wouldn't be visiting this website either! :-P

If you start adopting the characteristics a label comes with, you weren't ever really that way. Life will be teaching you a lesson about this so those with aspergers don't have to.

The only thing of any value in that youtube was a chance to listen once more to Sally Oldfield (sister of Mike Oldfield of Tubular bells fame) singling Mirrors a song that I’ve not heard since I was 12 or 13.
The rest of the random word flashed on the screen was new age nonsense, random word, arranged in such a way that gullible people will find “something of value” from the very randomness of it.

(I know that USA dictionaries no longer allow the use of the word “gullible” and have removed (banned) it from all online and printed dictionaries since 1999, but I’m English so still use it)

It's just a pointless label parents of 'odd' kids give to their children because they can't face up to the reality that there is something wrong with their kid. The majority of these children have been diagnosed by professionals as having AD/HD or autistic spectrum disorders. That's the truth and they just can't accept it.

Crystals and rainbows. How sweet.

The language is meaningless, cringe-worthy, new-age, airy fairy nonsense from beginning to end.

Actually, if you read all the blurb, the description is of someone who is the very opposite of a person on the spectrum: Intuitive, not easily manipulated, able to sense dishonesty, perceptive, draws people to them.

It helps to pronounce the p as actual p and the e not as in learn but in merit. That way it is roughly like /a"spEr\g@s/.

A classic example of people using magic to describe what they don't understand.

A few hundred years ago we were changlings which were reportedly left in the snow for the fey to 'come and claim' or whatever. Though even as a kid I half believed I was myself, at least no one actually acts on this mythology any more.

Magical thinking doesn't much have a history of treating us well, imo.
