anti-autism stuff 

@elilla the "starseed child" thing is very much alive and well with antivaxxers and other conspiracy people who believe in established alien contact in the United States. I come across it regularly when looking for YTP video editing source material. It has extremely ableist connotations as it is a label conspiratorially minded ET-believer moms will label their autistic kids with instead of being helpful or understanding. To the extent that people on here might find mentioning it a traumatizing thing.

@thufie @elilla (KT, max's host talking rn) I remember my mom being told by someone she was sitting beside on an airplane, that I was an "indigo child" because I was reading a science book when I was 3.

The whole indigo child stuff is similar to this, maybe it's the same thing but renamed.

Honestly all it means is autism

@thufie @elilla Like, at least it's positive discrimination so it could be far worse but it's still patronizing
