Frequent Characteristics of Indigo Children

May be strong-willed, independent thinkers who prefer to do their own thing rather than comply with authority figures/parents

Have a wisdom and level of awareness and caring beyond their youthful experience

Traditional parenting and discipline strategies don’t appear effective with these children. If you try to force an issue, a power struggle is the typical outcome

Energetically Indigos are vibrating at a higher frequency so they can get scrambled by negative energy (human or machine)

Emotionally they can be very reactive and may have problems with anxieties, depression or temper rages if not energetically balanced

Are creative right brained thinkers but may struggle to learn in a traditional left brained school system

Often Indigos are diagnosed as having ADD/ADHD since they appear impulsive (their brain can process information faster) and they require movement to help keep them better focused

Indigos are very intuitive (often psychic) and may see, hear or know things that seem unexplainable

Indigos tend to be more visual, kinesthetic learners so remember best what they can picture in their brain and create with their hands

Indigos have more problems with food and environmental sensitivities since their system is more finely tuned

When their needs are not met, these children appear self centered and demanding although this is not their true nature

These children have incredible gifts and potential but may be shut down when not properly nurtured and accepted.

Now Compare this to what you have just Read....

The following is from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM IV):
DIAGNOSTIC CRITERIA FOR 299.00 AUTISTIC DISORDER

A. A total of six (or more) items from (1), (2), and (3), with at least two from (1), and one each from (2) and (3)

a) marked impairments in the use of multiple nonverbal behaviors such as eye-to-eye gaze, facial expression, body posture, and gestures to regulate social interaction

b) failure to develop peer relationships appropriate to developmental level

c) a lack of spontaneous seeking to share enjoyment, interests, or achievements with other people, (e.g., by a lack of showing, bringing, or pointing out objects of interest to other people)

d) lack of social or emotional reciprocity ( note: in the description, it gives the following as examples: not actively participating in simple social play or games, preferring solitary activities, or involving others in activities only as tools or "mechanical" aids )

(2) qualitative impairments in communication as manifested by at least one of the following:

a) delay in, or total lack of, the development of spoken language (not accompanied by an attempt to compensate through alternative modes of communication such as gesture or mime)

b) in individuals with adequate speech, marked impairment in the ability to initiate or sustain a conversation with others

c) stereotyped and repetitive use of language or idiosyncratic language

d) lack of varied, spontaneous make-believe play or social imitative play appropriate to developmental level

(3) restricted repetitive and stereotyped patterns of behavior, interests and activities, as manifested by at least two of the following:

a) encompassing preoccupation with one or more stereotyped and restricted patterns of interest that is abnormal either in intensity or focus

b) apparently inflexible adherence to specific, nonfunctional routines or rituals

c) stereotyped and repetitive motor mannerisms (e.g hand or finger flapping or twisting, or complex whole body movements)

d) persistent preoccupation with parts of objects

B. Delays or abnormal functioning in at least one of the following areas, with onset prior to age 3 years:

(1) social interaction

(2) language as used in social communication

(3) symbolic or imaginative play

C. The disturbance is not better accounted for by Rett's Disorder or Childhood Disintegrative Disorder

Spooky isn't it....

Wait a sec...Is that Syrup I smell...No, It's Just New Jersey

SOMEBODY GRAB THE WAFFLES AND BREAK OUT THE HOT BUTTER.....

NYC's mysterious syrup smell tracked to New Jersey
By SARA KUGLER

NEW YORK (AP) - City investigators have tracked down the source of a maple syrup smell that has puzzled New Yorkers several times in recent years. No offense, New Jersey, but it was you.

The harmless but long-confounding smell, which has drifted through swaths of the city at least nine times since 2005, was traced to a facility across the Hudson River that processes seeds for use as artificial flavorings.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg said that a team of odor investigators - environmental protection, health department and emergency management workers - ``put our noses to the ground'' to identify the culprit after another whiff in early January.

The investigation involved mapping the time and place of all the odor complaints to the city's 311 hot line, data that were then compared with wind and atmospheric conditions. Those were checked against air sampling tests during the periods that New Yorkers reported smelling the odor.

Bloomberg said the odor has been detected by New Yorkers only a small number of times because the conditions apparently had to be quite specific.

``You have to have a day with winds at the right speed, going in the right direction, and high humidity, but no rain,'' he said.

Officials found that the highest concentration of calls often came from the Upper West Side of Manhattan, and that the odor reports tended to come on days when wind speed was moderate - fast enough to carry odors but slow enough that they were not immediately dispersed.

Investigators also found that the wind on the days in question generally moved from west to east, and narrowed the search to facilities in New Jersey that process food additives and fragrances.

The probe found that one facility in Hudson County was processing fenugreek seeds on the evening of Jan. 29, when multiple odor complaints came in. Fenugreek is a common ingredient in curry powders, and its extract is also used in artificial vanilla, caramel, butterscotch and maple flavorings.

New Jersey and city officials say the facility, operated by a company called Frutarom, does not appear to be violating any rules or regulations. The mayor said it was possible that other such facilities in the area were also responsible.

``We are officially closing the case,'' Bloomberg said.

Yes, You Read Right...New York now smells like Maple Syrup...UNBELIEVABLE

Sorry Had to Post this...it's just too funny

Don't Forget..PLEASE....
