DEF

[A child] who [is] believed to possess special, unusual, and sometimes supernatural traits or abilities.

CONT

Pediatric behavioral specialists have theorized that the entire social construct of the indigo child stems from parents who refuse to admit that their child has a behavioral problem – often ADD [attention-deficit disorder] or ADHD [attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder], or [an] autistic spectrum [disorder] – and that labeling the child as being not only special, but superior to other kids, is a parental coping mechanism.
