The best autism representation always seems to come from characters that probably aren't purposefully meant to be seen as autistic.

Personally as someone who’s neurodivergent I believe everyone in the mane 6 DEFINITELY has a sort of neurodivergence to them There’s no way any of them are neurotypical at all ESPECIALLY twilight, fluttershy, pinkie etc etc.

Ah yes, mlp, where allistics are the minority

“This entire show is just pony autism” 5:50 Bro described my life

Fun fact, Twilight being autistic is cannon. The original creator specifically added those traits as twi is on the spectrum. However it's never mentioned in the show as they either don't have a term for Autism in that universe, she isn't diagnosised, or she keeps it a secret due to possible stigma. Other characters that I think are autistic/ head cannon is Big Mac, Apple Jack, Luna, and maybe Rarity. Big Mac as he is non-verbal 99% of the time and monotone when he does talk. Applejack as she is also very straight forward, blunt, and very honest. Lunas as she also possesses visible stiming, monotone voice, and lacks social "intelligence?", has a hard time understanding voice tone/ pitch. I picked Rarity as she is very hyperfixated on fashion and is very detail oriented when it comes to that topic specifically, she is also strict when it comes how objects/ dresses are handled when it comes to another pony touching or moving them. Rainbow Dash is also very ADHD, I'd say even to the same extent as Pinkie. The main 6 are all neurodivergent imo, it makes sense as neurodivergent people tend to get along better with other neurodivergent people than neurotypicals. Considering that Twi is basically canonicallly autistic, it's not too much of a reach. Edit: after looking a little deeper. I don't know if the twilight autistic thing is only a rumor I heard or is real and I've yet to see Lauren prove or debunk it. If you want to ask her, you can ask them on Twitter. Her @/Fyre_flye

my personal mane 6 autism headcanon is applejack. she really likes consistency and routines, has strong values and opinions, and gets stressed and confused when something is unexpected or doesn't align with how she thinks things should be. she also has a hard time understanding other ponies' points of view or thought processes and generally tries to be as straightforward as possible, sometimes unknowingly insensitive. my headcanon is that she doesn't know she's autistic because she thinks she's just "normal", but tries to support her autistic friends.

that opening bit explaining ASD was a bit inaccurate/confusing - "aspergers, better known as autism" - that's not how the diagnostic change went. aspergers was merged along with a number of other diagnoses INTO autism spectrum disorder, which is ASD

How did you not go into more detail with pinkie!!! She stims, she hyperfixates, she has depressive episodes, she doesn’t know how to control her tone or read the room, and it’s pointed out multiple times in the show that she is very different from everypony; like how the others will go “That’s just Pinkie!” I see her as one of the most autistic characters I have ever seen and I thought you were gonna bring her up first which is why it’s so wild to me ahaifgbwnwqfah

I always thought Fluttershy just had generalized anxiety disorder, since she does freeze up and get really scared in social situations, BUT, anxiety does often go hand in hand with autism. And she DOES have at least one melt down that I can remember. Apple Jack reminds me of the flavor of Autism I have, in some ways, on the lower support needs side of the spectrum. Twilight is no DOUBT Autistic, she is to magic like I am to worldbuilding and OCs, and she ALSO very much has at least one meltdown that I can remember off the top of my head!

"The autistic ponies of My Little Pony" You have no idea how little that narrows things down... 😂

TALLY HALL MENTIONED!! THE CROWD GOES WILD!! (i am also autistic)

I’m someone with ADHD, and I have friends who are autistic. I connect with some of these topics, such as fixating or being awful at conversation though I tend to be hyperactive. Me and my autistic friends tend to find comfort in each other over these struggles, though we both understand we both have different symptoms and conditions. Some things overlap simply, and that’s all to it. I appreciate your representation and inclusion of many characters, your channel is underated in my eyes. I even do that thing about having to check for doors being locked or being pessimistic over day to day life. We all have different ranges of how we behave and are, and it feels inclusive in that manner. I will say, I find a lot of myself in Pinkie pie as well.

"This entire show is just pony autism isn't it" lol pretty much

10:51 lgbtq is actually represented a lot throughout the entire mlp franchise. scootaloo’s aunts, Curly Winds & Wiz Kid, the actual scene of lyra and bonbon getting married, and there’s even a porcelain statue of two lesbian ponies getting married (and it’s from the 80s)

Hi, I just thought I'd let you know that Asperger's is no longer a diagnosis, and has not been since 2013. In the DSM-5, Asperger's and Autism were combined under the term "Autism Spectrum Disorder", or ASD. They have been considered the same disorder for over a decade, and we are categorized by people with higher support needs and by people with lower support needs (hence Autism "Spectrum"). The spectrum isn't just a horizontal line either: some people might need more support with social awareness but not need as much support with sensory issues, and another person might experience the opposite. You could also need a lot of support with both. There are many symptoms that make up this spectrum. "Asperger's" is also a problematic term for a disorder to begin with, as the name was coined by Hans Asperger, a Nazi. He studied autistic people and the ones he deemed "too autistic" to be fit for society were killed. Some autistic people still claim the term Asperger's (some because they don't know its been changed or about its history as a term, some because they don't want to be "roped in" with higher needs autistic people, some because they think they are "better" than higher needs autistic people) but it is no longer a diagnosis and has a rough and bloody history as a term.

I'd go with Rainbow Dash having ADHD. But Pinkie Pie... Pinkie has unmedicated bipolar disorder. But then all the Pie sisters... Marble is cripplingly withdrawn and Limestone is pure anger management issues.

for years, ive seen at as the Entire main six being autistic. from twilight literally needing step by step guides for how to socialize, to rarity having strict regimes in place that she cant cope with being changed, to applejack being unable to lie and being overly blunt, to fluttershys struggles with social interactions but comfort with animals, to rainbow dash hyperfixating on what she enjoys and being unable to focus on anything else unless it contains her special interest, to pinkies Everything. the mane six Are the autism spectrum. to me

Just so you know, (no hate here at all!) Aspergers is an outdated (and generally considered offensive) term to many people on the spectrum, A. because of the origins of the term and B. because of the harmful stereotype it enforces; the idea of being "high functioning" or "less autistic" than your ASD counterparts. These days the diagnostic criteria goes off of levels, and anyone along the spectrum is just under the term ASD :)

Being one on the spectrum, i as a kid always related with fluttershy cause i always was "shy" or into "animals", i also related because social awkwardness and anxiety. Now that im older i actually relate to twi more, because she has fixations in books and can name any chapter. Kind of like how i remember everything about my special interests ironic even mlp. And actually on your talk of twi and ocd actually people on the spectrum like me have ocd tendencies like obsession and repeating behaviors, like ill ask someone many times if something is safe till the anxiety goes away. P.s This was a wonderful video! ive been waiting for someone to talk about it!

Rainbow Dash and ADHD! The episode about studying for the wonderbolts exam was a prime example.

something abt twilight too is that other ponies in the earlier seasons think she comes off as rude just bcos of how she communicates and its like shes not rude shes just AUTISTIC

For your information, we don't use the term Asperger's or Asperger's syndrome anymore:)

thought the title said "the autistic power of My Little Pony" and i said "so true"

they all do actually because I said so

Your channel made me binge watch mlp again.

Though she obviously has ADHD or something, I think that pinkie pie may also be autistic. This is because, while most people view autism as being socially awkward, autism is a spectrum and people with asd can exhibit wildly different symptoms. For example, not understanding social cues doesn’t necessarily mean someone has to be shy and awkward. Some people can present this by doing things such as not minding other’s personal space, missing obvious social cues, and being too loud at inappropriate times. Pinky pie shows this a lot throughout the show, one big example being with Cranky the donkey when she relentlessly tries to befriend him, not being able to tell he just wants peace and quiet. She even announces to the entire town that he needs a new wig, thinking she was helping him. Other things that are considered autism symptoms that she does includes being a complete sensory seeker, extremely talkative and having a hard time stopping (also maybe going partially non-verbal, for example in the episode where she goes crazy (possibly autistic meltdown) because she thinks her friends are ignoring her), (which then leads to) rejection sensitive, overusing facial expressions, taking empathy to the extreme (such as feeling extremely empathetic for inanimate objects) or having not much empathy at all, taking expressions too literally. Also, you could say that her pinkie sense could represent tics, a common occurrence in people with asd. Also, she’s freakishly good with numbers. She litteraly knows the birthday of every pony in ponyville (a talent that an autistic kid I babysit has), seemingly having an internal calander. She can also remember numbers really well, answering immediately with a crazy number when her friends ask a rhetorical question about an amount she has of something or something else like that. Anyways, yah. If you somehow read my entire comment, feel free to share your ideas on this please because I feel like it’s a less popular opinion.

“ it was NOT a personal attack “ *proceeds to threaten us with a screwdriver* 😭✋

I never viewed Fluttershy as socially awkward she appears to have socially anxiety. She literally go out of her way to avoid talking to new people and when she needed to sing for a concert she sung behind a curtain because she couldn't handle preforming or talking in front of ponies that aren't her friends.

You may or may not know but just to let you know that asbergers syndrome doesn't actually exist anymore. It is a outdated term. I have autism and adhd and one of my hyper fixation is psychology so I have done a lot of research. A lot of people don't know this.

Faust confirmed on twitter that pinkie has ADHD

I'm audhd and there's so many ponies I headcanon as autistic

With Pinkie Pie being ADHD, I actually think Rainbow Dash is more ADHD, while Pinkie Pie is actually really good at paying attention to details. Pinkie is more, just hyperactive, and doesn't have an attention thing. Rainbow Dash, and Testing, Testing 123, is a perfect example for Rainbow Dash, where she isn't paying attention to Twilight and is moving around. Pinkie could move around, and make it seem like she's not listening, but every drop of information drops into her head, and sticks. Pinkie probably has a better memory than Twilight even.

Honestly I’ll say the main difference between autism and just being “smart” (GT, it’s actually it’s own category) is the disability part of it, aka being incapable of being good at communicating (from non verbal to just not reading social ques) to sensory processing skills. That’s what separates it and makes it a disability, I also believe that the nuero scan of autistic brain and neurotypical brains are actually different, similar to ADHD. In any case. Yeah, I could tell this dude was autistic, the fast talking and descriptive words gave it away. That and the affect when he talks. I would personally categorize Twilight as GT, aka she’s advanced in her academic abilities and her communication skills aren’t actually lacking she just doesn’t like to talk to people in the beginning, she could most likely have OCD or ADHD however.

my personal theory is that all the ponies are autistic, and that’s why they all have special intr- i mean talents, and have to learn about friendship! i also think the mane 6 represent different traits, twilight is the hunger for knowledge about her special interest, pinkie pie has trouble regulating her volume and emotions, fluttershy has trouble regulating her volume as well, but she also struggles with social interaction, applejack has a comfort item (her hat), rainbow dash is overly blunt, rarity has sensory issues (she hates getting dirty).

1:47 there are actually two other canon MLP characters because of the Make-A-Wish Foundation! (and i just want an excuse to geek out :3) In the 2017 My Little Pony movie, an orange colored earth pony briefly appeared on screen at around the 8 minute mark named Code Red. Code Red was made by, and voiced by Adam Bengis, due to him having surviving leukemia, you can even see his name in the credits of the movie and everything. In Season 7, Ep. 714 ("Fame and Misfortune"), Jim Miller, someone who was working on MLP: FIM at the time, confirmed in 2018 in a twitter reply that a blue unicorn pony with blue hair was a Make-A-Wish OC. However, nothing is really known about who made the OC, and the credits of the episode refer to him as "Out of Town Pony". lol

As someone with autism and anxiety, I always related to Twilight and Fluttershy the most. When I’m less anxious, it’s more Twilight - the inverse being true for how I relate to Fluttershy. No matter what though, I always communicate strangely no matter how much my anxiety is affecting me xD Great video !!

"who dreams about reading books?" my brother, if he could choose to regect internet and live in a huge ancient library he would. (me and my brother are both very autistic but VERY different ends of the spectrum)

I would argue that by the nature of it, the whole MLPG4 universe is about neurodiverse adults since in order to teach social skills, you have to exaggerate things that are struggle points. This includes like eye contact, shyness, inflexibility, hyperfocus, black and white thinking, difficulty evaluating the action-consequence sequence of how people feel and picking up on social cues of how someone is feeling. Fluttershy is 100% me as a child and teen over the series, and Twilight is definitely late teen to adult me learning how to mask. Especially Twilight opening the School of Friendship to share the friendship rules she learned on the fly; I work in HR and the best thing about my job is that adult behaviour in the workplace is literally laid out one expectation at a time in HR policies so people behave around me exactly as expected.

XD I am autistic, and i like the fact you revealed you were autistic. Not one has to look autistic to be autistic.

I literally thought all of them.(aka the main six), is a sign of autism, ocd or adhd. Rarity for example, loves literally only fashion and her friends, its not just her cutie mark, its her bloody passion, adhd comes in if something dazzling enough or something like "a fashion disaster" that can distract her enough to take action, and in some cases, autism shows a type of energy for something you love, like rarity being absolutely creative in what she does, hense when the "princess dress" came out, she was at first extatic, yet when she had to make it over and over down to the very last detail and no tiny change was when it became a problem.

as someone who has autism the statement "You don't look autistic." has always irked me. Like everyone who has autism is different since we're different people!

As a person with Autism, I appreciate this video (I’m definitely like Fluttershy, anti-social most of the time)

hi just letting you know, we don’t use the word ‘wheelchair-bound’ anymore, people who use wheelchairs (such as people like my dad) prefer the term ‘wheelchair-user’ because then the term doesn’t bound THEM to the wheelchair

I'd like to mention that autism is not the only invisible disability out there. I have Selective mutism(or SM) which makes taking almost impossible. I am able to talk to my family (but not my extended family) and a few close friends. Like Fluttershy. I personally think that Fluttershy more closely resembles SM. Although maybe this video was focused on autism in particular. Thank you anyway for the video.

time police? *gravity falls fan increases*

your channel has completely made me rewatch mlp, youre honestly just so amazingly funny, a tally hall fan, and genuinely one of my favrouite youtubers, LOL

I think that Princess Luna could be considered Autistic. She tends to be hyperfixated on her past, she's socially awkward, she had a dream where she was getting a good night's sleep, and she finds normal and mundane things fascinating. A lot of this could simply be the byproduct of being on the moon for 1000 years and her nature of being a dreamwalker. But it's something to think about. So ironically, Friendship is Witchcraft may have have gotten the right idea for Luna.

Just thought I'd mention it, hyperfixations are also a thing with ADHD

I head Cannon zip as autistic coded, I know it may not seem intentional but she's like REALLY into her detective work even if it kind of pushes a few buttons, I've noticed that she doesn't really understand social cues either when it pertains to her investigations,Like sunny in chapter 5 has to constantly remind her to take it easy on Misty, and to redirect her special interest towards some pony else like elderflower in that one episode. She doesn't intentionally make ponys feel uncomfortable but , the fact that she doesn't realize she's Doing it makes me think that she's not socially aware of it, IDK it's just my head Cannon though, but it does make her character a bit more interesting in my eyes ❤️

Watched both your mlp disability and time videos and as an autistic person myself I could tell immediately that you were neurodivergent in some way /pos Your video essay thingies on mlp are frickin awesome btw!!! Hope you make more :D ALSO iirc (correct me if I'm wrong) twilight WAS supposed to be canonically autistic, not just autistic _coded_ , but hasbro didn't want to include that part of her character explicitly in the show cuz they were scared "kids wouldn't understand it" (which, btw, imo is the dumbest excuse ever and like. you know autistic kids Do exist and Do deserve to be heard and represented correctly in media right? But that's a whole other story)

Waving a random screwdriver around whilst you rant about something you’re interested in it insanely relatable

As an autistic person, I genuinely adore mlp, I have since I was a small kid! This show (in all it's generations) has made me feel seen, it's brought me joy on my darkest days. I remember my parents getting rid of all my ponies when I turned 9 because I was 'too old' for them. I forced myself away from what was probably my very first special interest and it killed me. But now that I'm an adult, I learned that I can indeed still find belonging, meaning and love in the MLP community, even if most people just see it as a silly kids horse cartoon

I've heard that some people don't like the phrase wheelchair bound

4:28 Actually baffled at the school counselor for not understanding that sometimes people just don't have extreme reactions and clap for you existing. ESPECIALLY an autistic person, being that we sometimes just have bland expressions even if we are really happy or interested.

I think a lot of MLP characters are autism-coded, and my personal headcanons for autistic characters are Twilight, Sunburst, Celestia (she stims a lot in S9 episodes), Mudbriar, and Pinkie and her entire family. I think that Fluttershy just has an anxiety disorder.

I started mulling over potential neurodivergencies of the mane six after watching your last video and reading people's thoughts in the comments. My take is, Twilight and Fluttershy would be autistic, Rainbow would be ADHD, and Pinkie would be both. Fluttershy also would have anxiety, obviously haha. I could understand some arguments for the others but I'd have to rewatch to have more of an opinion on the other possibilities.

Twilight is canonically on the spectrum (word of Faust). Maud was all but confirmed on the show. Pinkie is totally ADHD, as is Rainbow Dash. And Oliver is a handsome little guy.

As a autistic person like me as well I'm so happy that my favorite childhood show haves autistic people in it and with other disabilities as well to make it diverse and include everyone so thank you very much 😊😊😊😢😢❤❤❤

i think aspergers isn't actually a used medical term anymore and just got grand-fathered into autism (atleast as of a few years ago)

hey! hi! Fellow autistic person here- aspergers is actually an outdated term. It doesn't exist, it's just autism. Thank you for trying your best to be respectful, and always willing to learn more. I just wanted to let you know. I'm also always learning new things abt autism.

As a fellow autistic I GET THE SAME REACTION! YOU WANNA SEE AUTISM? I’LL RECITE EVERY SYMPTOM OF ASPD AND HOW IT WORKS IN THEIR BRAIN‼️‼️

i was recently diagnosed with autism and have loved mlp since i was a little kid, and now looking back on it it's impossible to not see it through an autistic lens. i honestly feel like all of the mane six can be interpreted as autistic (or at least neurodivergent) as well as an abundance of side characters. for a little girl growing up with undiagnosed autism, this honestly provided a lot of comfort for me without me even knowing about my own neurodivergence, and a lot of my other later-diagnosed friends have said the same thing. we all had at least one mlp character we really related to and helped us feel okay about ourselves. the message of the show being about the struggles of friendship - which often have to due with their individual differences - and how they are able to communicate with their friends about this as opposed to just isolating them was something super touching to me as it wasn't something i was super used to in my real life. the character of rairty in particular i always gravitated towards. she's one of those characters i don't see a lot of people head cannoning as such, but honestly i think she's a really good and relatable example of how autism can often times go unrecognized. trixie was another character i really related too and now 100% think is autistic. everything about her and her character arc has always really resonated with me.

My timetraveling friend who will probably never see this because of timeline shit, I'm autistic, even getting and ADHD evaluation in two days, and I do see autism as a disablity, and I'm glad your covered it.

As someone w/ OCD I can relate to twilight on a spiritual level

2:31 most autistic people (and non autistic people) don't like the term “Asperger's” due to the fact that the guy who let's just say created the term was a N*zi and most psychiatrist don't put “Asperger's” when diagnosing autism and also because they're literally the same thing, but they think it's better to diagnose someone with Asperger rather than autism (people think that Asperger is a lower stage of autism, but there is no lower stage of autism different people just “experience” autism differently)

I thought twilight was autistic also because she thought she was gonna disappoint someone, while breaking her routine when the episode where she had nothing to write to celestia about, she literally lost her mind. She freaked out which as someone who has adhd and autism, it’s extreme but for a control freak like twilight who’s already under a lot of stress, I wouldn’t doubt a possible meltdown to be what prompts her actions. Also I do think pinkie pie has adhd besides her whole hyperactivity and hyperfocus on parties/baking as well as having mood swings and severe rejection sensitivity, girl has intense object permanence issues 😭 and I can relate

I'm Asperger diagnosed. I think Pinkie Pie is the autistic character par excellence.

I'm convinced over half the characters in the show are neuro divergent, or at least have traits you'd normally see in a neuro divergent person

Fluttershy having severe social anxiety doesn't mean she's autistic...

I think the Mane 6 Disorders are: Twilight has OCD, Fluttershy has anxiety, Rainbow Dash has ADHD, Pinkie is paranoid, AJ is a workaholic and Rarity.... is dramatic? Idk-

I once had to explain MLP to an older male coworker of mine and really the best I could come up with was literally “brightly colored autism ponies” 😭

I believe pretty strongly that Rainbow dash represents ADHD! The episode where Twilight and the others are trying to figure out how to help Rainbow dash learn is pretty much textbook ADHD symptoms lol. (And since ADHD is on the autism spectrum, I'd think she'd fit in this list!) Pinkie pie def also fits the ADHD description, though probably in a slightly different way than Rainbow dash does.

As someone with both an Mlp and tally hall related Hyperfixations this is the realest shit in the world

"Twilight being marginalized for reasons and getting princess of us all to protect and serve the community" vibe is kicking in and I love it

pink ponk

Oh this video… I mean I don’t suppose I can be mad, but this video is just full of complete misinformation on autism. Using terms like “invisible disability” and “Asperger’s”, as well as calling hyperfixations an autism symptom, and saying that autism isn’t an intellectual disability are just a few examples of things in this video that are just… wrong.

Thank you for pointing all that out about autism. I have it too, and I hate how everyone views it as just being 'dumb' as well as the fact that the whole spectrum is considered a disability even in a legal sense. Technically, I'm not disabled. I'm just mentally challenged, but too many people and apparently the law considers me that way. Plus, there's hardly anything or anyone online that talks about it as what it is rather than what it is widely considered, so thanks for actually doing just that. It means more to more people than you may ever know.

I personally think that fluttershys' interest in taking care of animals is more of a special interest rather than hyperfixation, cause while hyperfixations can come and go, special interests rarely will ever leave your mind, and fluttershy ever since she was a filly has been interested in taking care of animals

From what I understand and the hours of research I put into diagnosing myself (caus my parents are ableist af and getting a formal diagnosis won't help me in my current situation), Asperger's is no longer a distinct diagnosis, and is now considered to be part of the autism spectrum. Asperger's is often considered a "milder form" of autism but being diagnosed with that often causes these people to not have the same accommodations as someone with autism. It's also the reason that ADD (attention deficit disorder, often seen as a "milder form" of ADHD) got categorized into ADHD as a whole to uniformize the disorder instead of separating groups of people that are more or less "normal". By merging ADD and Asperger's as part of the spectrum of their respective disorders instead of a completely other category allowed people to obtain the accommodations and help that could've otherwise be denied, or at least lessen the discrimination that might happen within the same disorder. A "milder form" of autism or ADHD doesn't exactly exist, it's more so the difference in which those neurodivergencies appear externally. Some people may "appear" less or more autistic, but that doesn't mean they are less or more autistic. They are still both autistic, what changes is their ability to mask those symptoms (which is also why low or high functioning is also seen as damaging terms). Asperger's was also named after the guy who did atrocious things and supported Nazi Germany and their "ethnic cleansing", and autistic children were victim of that as well. So by absorbing Asperger's syndrome into ASD as a whole, it also got rid of the negative connotations and the baggage that the former name brought with it. Asperger's syndrome, autism, and ASD are all technically the same thing, these terms were just used to describe and isolate spectrums of the same disorder. This is what I know at least and I could be wrong, so correct me if I am.

I’m autistic and adhd, and I’m confident that rainbow dash has adhd and maud pie is autistic

RAINBOW DASH LITERALLY HAS A FULL EPISODE OF HER HAVING ADHD.

When he is just dancing around the electrical stuff 10:35 I lost complete focus of anything

Aspergers isn't the only form of autism. Theres PDD-NOS (thats what i have), Rett Syndrome, and Childhood Disintegrative Disorder. Also, please don't use the term Asperger's as it refers to a n4zi and helped in unaliving children with disabilities. I am not attacking you, just giving you advice for future reference. :)

Rainbow Dash seems like textboox ADHD to me

I'm autistic and never noticed these ponies as autistic. My favorite is Twilight, and my least favorite is Applejack.

Aspergers is no longer a diagnosis, it is all asd now.

hell yeah another cxcd upload!!!!!

What you said from about 7:50 to 8:24 was honestly kinda uncomfortable to listen to. You probably didn't mean it that way but there's nothing wrong with needing a caretaker and having intellectual disabilities too. Autism isn't the same for everyone, but other autistic people aren't less because they struggle more/differently than you or "the smartest people in the world". If somone with higher support needs feels like adding on or feel what I said was off feel free to reply

tally hall follows me wherever i go

For g5 I think that Izzy Moonbow has Autism and ADHD. Maybe I’m just projecting because she’s my favorite lol but in the movie she is shown to be kind of oblivious to what’s going on when she first appears in MareTime Bay. She sees the ponies panicking and running away from her as them playing hide and seek. Not to mention she is socially isolated from the other unicorns and in the show has a few episodes where she is struggling with understanding how the other ponies feel

As an autistic person youre dead on. Like the mane 6? More like the autism 6

LESSS GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! AWESOME VID :3

Doctor who reference! * Disclaimer it has been quite a while since i watched the show * I have a headcanon that pinkie pie is also autistic. She struggles with volume control and is often very loud. She also hyerfixates on partys and people;As seen when the donkey guy first came to ponyville and her random musical knowledge when she was able to play like 10 different instruments. She also struggles with mental health isuues (e.g depression) and has a deflated look - i bringing this up as those on the spectrum "are more prone" (Idk if thats the right phraseing) to mental health issuses. She alo sturggles with concentration (as seen in the mirror pool episode when the pinkies where made to watch paint dry) and ,in my opinion, tends to fidget e.g her canon and confetti. These could also present her as having ADHD (again the wierd phraseing sorry.)

I was talking to myself about the characters I relate to, and one of them was Twilight Sparkle, and one of my friends thinks I have autism, so yeah ha ha

I found absolutely nothing wrong with the Disabled Ponies video, so I have no idea if I'm the targeted demographic or not.

My dad told me he wont let me get tested because he thinks i dont act autistic. Ive told him that autism differs between people but he doesnt understand that ig!!!

“I can recite every Tally Hall lyric from here to Texas.” You have earned my respect.

The fact that you have a radio that looks like Alastor's in the background

great video !!!

I can say for sure that Pinkie and maud Pie has schizophrenia personality disorder
