It's the first time I hear about them...
Maybe because the English idiom is differently translated in Italian - well, of course.
It is very interesting. I'll surely do a search and save some article to HD.
Why are they called "Indigo"?
Isn't it a shade of colour? In IT it should be "indaco", a type of deep blue.
I have never met gifted children of any kind, not at school nor at home or in any other activity. Maybe the point is that here such children are somewhat hidden, and families move to places weer there is more possibility for them to be followed - for example, US, UK, Russia, France or Germany...
Well, this will make you laugh: my family used to considet ME a gifted children!!!
Of course I am (well, I've been) but just as much as others are (have been). I never switched lights off by blinking, nor got things floating in the air - I tried sometimes, though. ;p
