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

The episode where Sweetie Belle cleans her room and Rarity flips out is so relatable to me.

I always say "It's not about being organized and clean, it's about knowing where my stuff is. My room is a mess, but I know where things are. Like Rarity says, "It was organized chaos!" I describe it like this when I explain it to my parents because it makes sense to me. I'm also on the spectrum, just throwing that out there.

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.

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.

Pinkies clear rejection sensitivity and stimming put her more with adhd in my brain but I also have adhd so I might be biased, I do agree with rainbow tho. She gets distracted on things quickly and can turn into her being investing in a side quest to the extent of forgetting about her friends temporarily without a reminder or the quest ending. She can be very socially unaware with her gloating, very similar to how many people with adhd assume they’re being helpful by correcting something someone said or telling them how to do something better but or something good that you did without recognizing that they see it as cocky, I’ve gotten that a lot before
@EebyDeeby4135 ай бұрын
No? She doesn't? Pinkie does not have unexpected intense shifts in mood. She's never, say, woken up feeling low energy with flat hair for no reason in the show before. Her depressive episodes are EXTREMELY predictable and are typically directly caused by misunderstandings in social situations that lead to extreme rejection sensitivity and/or feeling isolated and left out from fun experiences with loved ones. Which is way more consistent with forms of anxiety associated with ADHD, btw.

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.

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.

Rainbow Dash does pay attention, she just has a hard time paying attention unless she's occupied with multiple tasks at the same time (ADHD brains having a higher stimulation need than typical making it difficult to engage with tasks unless sufficiently challenged i.e. optimal arousal theory). That's what testing testing 123 was about. They're both hyperactive with a good memory for details, it just manifests differently between the two of them (probably because Pinkie doesn't have wings and even if she did, she wouldn't be a weatherpony).

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.

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 !!

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.

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.

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.

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.

@@pepprchuu Acute Social Anxiety isn't categorically ONLY a symptom of autism. It can be but that's a case-by-case connection that only doctors could accurately diagnose.

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.

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.)
