The reason I looked into the indigo thing was someone said most indigos are ADHD and I'm Big Brother (in the Big Brother Big Sister program) to a 15 year old boy who is ADHD. I don't know what his answers to some of those questions would be, but he fits to a certain extent from what I do know.
I've already raised two very bright daughters. Both are in college now. From what I see, I would not raise this young man any differently knowing that he is indigo. However, I'm open to the voice of experience about the benefits/problems of ritalin from those who have been there. Anybody?

If you want to rob your child of his true essence then by all means continue giving him Ritalin.
If not, educate yourself on indigo children and you will soon find that you MUST raise him differently to your other children. Dont pour acid on a flower.
[edit] - Sorry for being so vauge, i saw that you were giving your kid ritalin and i just freaked. I'll elaborate on why you shouldnt do this later. Also, im not saying you need to treat him like he's got special needs, theres just certain aspects of your parenting that your should alter if you think that he may be an indigo, i can go in depth if you like but i wont get a chance until later one. In the meantime there are many fully comprehensive articles covering this subject just a google click away.
I dont want to leave this without giving you something of use. To find out if he really does have Attention Deficit Disorder, try introducing him to topics on spirituality or the arts. If he seems to be doing good at focusing on these then dont worry he doesnt have attention deficit his soul is just way past mundane subjects.
