Autistic Ponies

According to some, you can get autistic horses. Meet Benny. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Benny-the ... 8602404793
Whether or not an animal can be classed as autistic, i dont know, i think it would be to hard to actually understand how the mind of an animal works. What is normal, and what is not? Its too subjective really.

I have horses, and we use them for special needs people, disadvantaged people, and they can be used for autistic people aswell. Its a pretty well known concept that autistic people really do benefit from the interaction with horses, its certainly helped me over the years. I much prefer being around horses than people.

But, none of them are really autistic, but Fluttershy seems to have avoident personality disorder. And the great Trixie could have narcisism.

I don't really identify with any of them, I'm to opinionated and dominating for Fluttershy, I'm to cautious for Rainbow Dash and I'm not fun enough to be Pinkie Pie.

Ok, I guess I really should have given this thread a different title, thrown it in the random board or somewhere else, and mentioned how this isn't serious, and yes, I understand that is just a cartoon and that the characters are exaggerated, and none of them are meant to be autistic or anything, its just a hypothetical "Assuming that one of the ponies was autistic, which pony is the most likely to be the autistic one?". Sorry for all the misunderstandings, I didn't mean to offend anyone or anything.

I don't know... I don't really think any of them would have enough traits, but maybe Fluttershy.

I idenify a lot with Fluttershy. Let's see, I relate better to other species and tend to snap when you least expect it. I was more like Rainbow Dash as a kid but the constant abuse and bullying made me phobic of other people and made me more like Fluttershy. Twlight Sparkle seems too NT to me. She seems the most "normal" out of all the ponies. I already mintioned Fluttershy. Rainbow Dash is a tomboy obsessed with speed, Pinkie Pie is neurotic, Applejack is a workaholic farm girl and Rarity is a fashion obsessed Diva. Twlight Sparkle seems to be the most normal out of all of them. Sure she's a bookworm. but a lot of the bookworms I've known were NT. Twlight Sparkle also just seems too socialy aware compared to the others. Also, if Celestia is a princess, where is the king? Cartoons like Sonic SatAM have a princess character that is the leader of the group, but at least he's still around. The king of Equstria isn't even mintioned. You're not really a princess, Celestia! You just took the title because it sounds cute. Take some authority! You're a queen! Queen it up, b***h!

I'm a lot like Fluttershy.

I think Twilight proved herself to be a total Aspie in the new episode "Lesson zero".

Twilight Sparkle: Bad? Bad? Of course it's bad! I'm supposed to send Princess Celestia a letter every week telling her a lesson I've learned about friendship! Not every other week! Not every ten days! EVERY! SINGLE! WEEK!
She totally missed the point LOL.

Now pinky pie I totally think she's bipolar or schzioaffective. Even though she's happy and bubbly she's also been severely depressed, twitchy, paranoid, psychotic, and delusional.

I never watched the new show but when I was a kid I had a large collection of My Little Ponies that I liked to play with and now I wish I had never given them away. I never got the stable (too expensive) but I had the dream castle, waterfall, and the carrying case stall.

With Twilight Sparkle i can see some aspie-ness. but with Pinkie Pie, I think she could have some kind of mental health issue (possible personality disorder. One side, her bubbly happy side is Pinkie Pie, another, her psycho creepy side is Pinkamena) and as for Fluttershy, I see a lot of myself in her (maybe that's why I like her so much! XD) She's shy in certain situations, she doesn't like when other ponies laugh at her and she doesn't like being in large crowds. She also doesn't like to be center of attention (I wasn't going to put this b/c it's one thing that makes me and Fluttershy different) but when she is, she tries her best to shine. She tries to best to overcome all the hurdles that come with her struggles that make her her. She also has a love for animals and knows a lot about them. So I think Fluttershy could also fall into the aspie catagory.

My first/second thread still exists? Can this be moved or something?

Done!

Going purely on canon: definitely Twilight. Interestingly, I relate to her, Pinkie, Fluttershy AND Derpy, for different reasons.

Going on fanon, I would add Derpy (we haven't seen enough of her in the show itself to be sure).

Glad this thread is still alive. When it started, I had never watched FIM--it's part of the reason I became curious about it.

Thank you, Ganondox!
