I honestly wouldn't know.

Aren't you all a bit too old to be watching a kids show anyway?

I find that I identify with Fluttershy a lot. However, I've taken several different "pony personality online tests" and each time, I came up with either Fluttershy, Twilight Sparkle, or Pinkie Pie. So, I guess I'm a combination of all three, which I think is pretty accurate.

Not many of the characters seem "autistic" to me, tho-just unique in their own ways.

Fluttershy, definitely...most relatable character of all time for me.

My friend got me into watching this series and I really like it. She said that I seem to be a combination of Twilight and Fluttershy. I can totally see that because I can relate to those two the most. They're definitely my two favorite characters.

I'm not sure if this belongs here or in Random Discussion, but I've noticed that a lot of people with Asperger's syndrome relate with the characters from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, particularly Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie. So my question here is which pony do you feel is the most likely to be autistic or that you relate with the most?


You like mlp too?! Sweet!

I don't think any of them have it, even if I can easily relate to both Fluttershy and Twilight. It's just my opinion, but it's still an interesting thought.

No, most likely none of them do, it's just interesting to theorize about, and the characters are very relatable. Anyway, with Maud being a character now, she seems quite likely.

I can't believe this thread still has posts in it since last November. :wink:

Out of all the characters in My Little Pony I would think that Maud would be most likely to be autistic. Throughout the show she displays numerous autistic traits including a fascination with one interest, a monotone voice, blunt honesty, and attachment to objects. Her boyfriend, Mud Briar, has some obvious traits as well. He, like Maud, shows a focused interest that he is expert in, similar tone of voice, carries objects, and has a highly developed vocabulary.

Twilight sparkle is literally studying friendship and reporting on it because she doesn't understand it.

Also she has a dragon living with her.... Not sure that is relevant but it would be chill to have a dragon living with me.

For those who think I'm too old to watch kids shows...1) I have the young children, 2) it is not the most childish thing I do, 3) adulting sucks :P, 4) many kids shows are better written than adult shows since they can't rely on violence or sex to carry them.

I relate to Fluttershy the most. But I voted Derpy Hooves because I like her being autistic

MLP:FiM was a great show and well written. I heard that a group of people on 4chan started watching it as a joke and discovered it was actually good, which started the bronies. Animation doesn't have to be for kids, and stories can be good without having gritty and "mature" elements.

Bluey seems to be having a similar impact in this decade

I havent advanced enough to watch My Little Pony. I watch the Teletubbies.

And I am still wresting with the possibility that one of the Teletubbies might be gay!

Thats what that televangelist said.

So I cant yet deal with any autistic ponies :o .

None of them. They're freakin' cartoon ponies. Aspects of their personalities are supposed to be exaggerated, just like every other fictional character. That's why everybody always picks out characters they reckon are autistic, because they recognise and empathise with those exaggerated personality traits.
You could diagnose every character with a mental disorder if you tried hard enough. And it really bugs me when people try.


Yeah, apparently all the characters in Winnie-the-Pooh (except maybe Kanga and Roo) are supposedly personifications of mental disorders and illnesses:

Christopher Robin - Schizophrenia (and not just a kid with a vivid imagination, talk about stupid)
Eeyore - Depression
Piglet - Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Tigger - ADHD
Rabbit - OCD
Owl - Dyslexia
Pooh - Autism(?)

Sure fine, believe what you want to believe, as long as there's a tiny part of my childhood that hasn't been murdered yet.

Pooh had an eating disorder.
Kanga and Roo are one person with split personalities.
