[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 647268, member: 1550"] I recall, and I'm sure it will happen again, many parents with young "special" children who say "he is so smart, has such a high IQ that he is bored and acts out." That is actually giving credence to the idea of The Indigo Child. In essence the mothers are so desperate for an explanation that does not include a disorder or mental illness that they are saying that their child is too brilliant to behave in this world and nobody has been able to handle his extraordinary intelligence. While many of our challenged adult children have very high IQs, many don't. Many are average. Many are below average. And most academically gifted people do not go around telling their parents that they hate them and breaking every rule of society. That is actually a personality problem, not due to giftedness or anything other than either a neurological disorder, a mental illness, or a personality disorder. But this "my child is so gifted that he can't behave" is a form of the Indigo Child mindset, at least in my opinion. We all know how desperate you can feel as a parent. [/QUOTE]
