I'm obsessed with My Little Pony, and I'm an aspie female.

I remember my little pony from when I was little . . .

(fem/pdd-nos)

As for this new pony thing not sure. Have not seen it, though I have heard of it. I went to Barnes and noble recently and I was trying to do some reading into dry mediums (for art) and this group of women around my age where clustered around the computer watching them (mind it it annoyed me that they had their sound on, in public, while other people where trying to read).

I was expecting it to corretlate with being female and with being aspie/autie.
Nt males the least obsessed, and spectrum females the most.

The only nt male to respond was NOT obsessed. So that conformed to expectation.

No nt female responded at all either way.

Aspie males were split-4 yes, and 9 no.

Aspie females were similarly split with 6 yes, and 13 no.

So aspies of both genders lined up on both sides. So it was kinda expect, and kinda surprising.

But many are like me ( one of aspie male not obsessed) who have never really given my little pony a try.

Who knows. If I watched it one time- i might get addicted.

You should find the fact that serveys of fans turned out a majority of makes even more surprising. This forum just has an unusually high amount of females.

I'm not obsessed with it but I can kind of see the appeal.
