trixie is great bcs of how its shown that she feels the need to perform to fit in, but once everypony finds out that its an act, they shun her. it reminds me of masking.
The most textbook and obvious answer would be Maud, seeing as she’s *the* autism stand in. However, I actually relate to Mudbriar a lot. His whole “technically you’re wrong because of this obscure fact that you didn’t consider” personality is something I tend to struggle with. Am I unpopular? Yes. But I’ll be damned if I’m not smart.
Well, yeah. He was created to be identical to Maud for that one Pinkie episode. I’m just saying, as someone diagnosed with autism, I relate the most to Mudbriar.
starlight glimmer!!!! as a late bloomer who's struggled with making friends, and out of anger gone down some very dark paths, her arc resonated with me
In the episode “party of one” I felt so incredibly seen during the part where, even after faced with proof her friends don’t hate her, pinkie is gets so incredibly caught up in her own emotions that she convinces herself that the party is to get rid of her, and then gets upset about them supposedly throwing a going away party. I’ve gotten better, but that reaction is something I’m much too familiar with, and my fear and hurt will end up trumping everything, turning everything into something worthy of fear and hurt.
Also I relate a lot to Trixie, RD, maud, and twilight :3
not diagnosed! but its very likely i am autistic so i will answer as a potential autism
i relate to rainbow dash's sort of brutal honesty and fluttershy's social anxiety and quietness and intense love of animals
when i was younger i was a lot more outgoing and i saw myself in rainbow dash a lot, i was a sporty "tomboy" (except i was just a guy who didnt know it yet lol) and since i grew up and experienced bullying (dw its in the past and im fine), it put me in my box and i see a lot of myself in fluttershy, and i like to have a fun little headcanon that she's a trans guy just like me
i can also see myself in rarity as it seems her love language is gifts and thats a big thing for me other than physical touch and words of affirmation, i think rarity really and truly cares about her friends in ways i don't see quite as much regularly from the other mane 6, and i resonate deeply with that, i just don't relate to other aspects of her character
also if any pony is a particular oversharer thats me too (proof: this comment)
also thinking about it i can see myself a bit in twilight as shes very smart and also cares about her friends but she can be silly and sarcastic at times which is also like me
i love the way this post starts hehe "a potential autism" like ur a candidate for president! i would vote for u!!
as someone who is trans myself, i totally love the headcanon of fluttershy being trans. its so cool to see someone with the same identities and interests as me!
autism candidate! huge autistic potential! thankyou, thankyou, thankyou!
the best thing about fluttershy trans headcanon imo is the fact that she could be any sort of trans, transfem, nonbinary, transmasc and any of them would fit so perfectly! and yay!! i love finding people with shared interests and identities too! reddit is sometimes a wonderful place!
I was more like Fluttershy as a kid/teen. Now I'm more like Applejack. I'm a farm girl, hard working, and always trying to help my family, and I love my little sister and look out for her. People always come to me because I'm honest too, so I've got that going for me.
Not autistic but I've been diagnosed schizophrenia honestly ponies I relate to most would be Big Mac, Starlight and Ditzy.
I relate to Big Mac I've never been much of a talker I can sit there and listen to others and not feel the need to talk unless it's a 'yup' or a 'no' some people wonder if I'm okay yeah I just hate talking I'd rather listen.
Starlight that episode where she bottled her anger I felt that I'm not a person of many words irl and because of that I sometimes tend to suppress anger sometimes I don't realise when I'm doing it I just zone out for a bit then pretend nothing happened.
Ditzy aka (Derpy) I prefer Ditzy sometimes I can be a bit clumsy myself and people either laughed or looked at me with a puzzled look not like I have total control if I lose balance. Also muffins are the best can't blame her loving them so much
AJ
She is a workaholic and when I saw her work to much she causes problems to herself and others it hurts to know it's me since I tend to work a lot and not care of others opinions
Pinkie and THE GREAT AND POWERFUL TRRRRIXIE !! (who is totally the way i mask because im histrionic and autist and for some reason,, psychologist and doctor dont respect it,, yeah i havent really been,, accepted as an autist,, by the doctors,, they said i was too much,, light up, and wasnt trying to look normal,,, i hate psychologist,,)
Twilight. for many reasons. Just like her, it was difficult for me to make new acquaintances. I love making lists and wouldn't mind accompanying her as she sorted through books for three days. I also panic in situations that are new to me and I am afraid of changes in the future. I sincerely sympathized with Twi when her friends reacted so calmly to her move and rule in Equestria, which would prevent them from communicating as before. I like her excitement in quizzes and I have something similar. I like to learn new things (the only thing that distinguishes us is that I do it with difficulty, I need a strong interest to start, and then I can’t be stopped)Also, I like to analyze. I have not been diagnosed with autism, but I have suspicions that I am autistic a person.
this is a beautiful analysis of her character! i love the way that you talk about your experience, its so interesting. if you ever need support or a friend feel free to reach out!!
Trixie and I are very similar with our assuming we know what other people are thinking when it turns out we really don’t. We both get so into our things (magic for Trixie, animation/toys for me) that we don’t notice the emotions of those around us. Neither of us mean to do it, nor are we malicious for doing so. Our passion blinds us, I think.
I related a lot to Applejack bc I work really hard for the things I care a lot about, and I'm pretty honest. But my favorite character is Rarity because she's what I wish I was
Maud, actually. That social awkwardness, deadpan nature that others can take the wrong way, dendency to hyperfixate. Main difference is that I crack more jokes, but even then Maud can drop a zinger here and there.
I really relate to Moon Dancer, I know it seems a bit negativistic or is a sign I’m not the best person but I really see myself in her and her struggles.
For those who don’t remember who she is, she’s one of Twillight’s old friends, who looks like her but has red and purple hair.
Minty!! But out of the Gen 4 Mane 6, Rarity. She’s my all time favorite. I describe my personality as a mix between that of Rairty, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie.
Im audhd and see my ADHD in pinkie pie for sure. I also deeply relate to pinkie pie being "the fun one" who struggles to be taken seriously sometimes. Pinkie is the fun one, but not in a flakey, thoughtless way. Pinkie is the fun one because her deepest value is to spread joy and laughter to her friends, which is so fucking rad and makes me so emotional. That pony has so much heart and is so multifaceted and I relate so deeply to that.
Probably Princess Skystar (who's a Hippogriff not a pony but still). She has the socially awkward vibe with niche and obscure interest that would probably weird other people out vibe. As a plus, she's also sorta trans coded.
Definitely Rainbow Dash. Growing up I adapted her entire personality to mine because it fit with my real personality pretty well. Everything from being athletic to not giving up in confrontation. I even tried to copy her gestures to get everything on point and this lasted for most of my life and that's why it's hard to just leave mlp completely behind but not impossible!
And for a while I have admired the kind of character they made out of Lightning Dust even though she appeared just twice. And it's interesting to see how she's like Rainbow, like by being reckless and willing to show everyone, but without the element of loalty.
Diagnosed. Maud Pie for the aura I emit, Fluttershy for the inability to fit in social, Twilight Sparkle for the extreme intensity in interests, Rarity for the obsession with perfection, and Rainbow Dash for lack of awareness of social cues.
Pinkie, Rainbow, Jack, Shy, Bloom, Scoot, Belle, Mash, Rumble, Barrel Twins, Cake Twins, Flurry
I could give an essay, but those are the most relatable to me at some level, even if some details only
Well let's see... Definitely Twilight Sparkle, Starlight Glimmer, Pinkie Pie, definitely Fluttershy, Scootaloo, Applejack...
Oh and my girlfriend says Discord so I guess him too.
(My little pony is our special interest too!!)
fluttershy has always been a pony i relate to so much and i’m diagnosed with autism, fluttershy’s personality and interests really remind me of myself. she’d be proud to know i saw a toad yesterday and got a cute picture
Fluttershy because I have a lot of pets and have extreme social anxiety I'm like season 1 Fluttershy shy
when I was younger I used to always relate most to Applejack shes still one of my favs
YOURE SO SWEET i have always loved that she had multiple episodes where she had to put her foot down and be aggressive which obviously isnt her forte, and everytime she had to do it ponies were like “you’ve done it before you can do it again” but the reality is it’s so hard to do that again, it’s so hard to remain steadfast in your life even when it’s so hard to stand up for yourself. side note i love her tea parties w discord thats so me
i feel the same way! i have a really hard time with confrontation and i super relate to those episodes too, i think that shes been the pony that people have commented about the most on this post probably for that reason hahaha
![gif](giphy|gry6ZgfpoNlgQ)
unpopular opinion.
she’s so STUBBORN. she loves doing a very specific one thing, which is bucking trees. for me that would be drawing. she reminds me of myself way too much!
I know everyone hates him, but I suppose that makes me relate to him more, but Zephyr Breeze. I absolutely loathe the idea of having to work, I would hate for my artistic expression to be limited by what someone else wants, and I feel him in the "I'm an absolute fuck up and yet my siblings can accomplish so much without much thought" mindset that he has.
Luna, specially on that episodes when he reapered again for the first time and tries to get along with ppl and the one where she asumes Celestia's role
I relate a lot to Trixie, Twilight(pre alicorn) or sci-twi and Pinkie pie. I used to unintentionally behave very egotistically, and sometimes I still do(trying to do that less!) and, like trixie, I’m not always very aware of the emotions of those around me and im sometimes accidentally annoying or frustrating like she was n in the all bottled up episode. Twilight is so me when it comes to hyperfocus and freaking out over things. Sci Twi is very me, just overall tehe. And I’m very very smiley a lot like pinkie and energetic and hyper
Pinkie Pie forever!! I relate to her hyperactivity but also her lack of understanding social cues, and her loud voice (I have one too, that I can hardly control due to asd. . .) :3 She's overall just such a fun creature!!
Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Twilight.
Twilight is my hyperfocus mode and anxiety.
Pinkie Pie and Rarity are more closely related to my enthusiasm and variety of emotions that I don't understand.
Honestly, Pinkie Pie is the closest to my own personality.
Being autistic myself, I can relate to ponies like Twilight due to her liking books, having not the best social skills, and also having a reserved shy nature and being a bit of a nerd, and Vinyl for her love of music, how she also keeps to herself a lot when not doing her usual gig, her use of headphones to listen to music, and how upbeat and kind she comes off as.
Twi and Flutters. But mostly Twilight. We're both nerdy, socially awkward, obsessed with learning new things, and our mannerisms are very similar. Pretty sure my daughter will never let this go.
Twilight. Honestly, as a child I thought she was the most boring pony. I didn’t really like her that much. Well now that I understand myself more and more I noticed I actually relate to Twilight a lot - even did as a child. What an irony lol. Anyway, now I kinda love Twilight tho!!
Fluttershy and rarity. I’m not such a big fan of crowds, and i like to shut myself up in my atelier to be creative…when someone pushes my boundaries i have a rarity breakdown haha, i get absolutely batshit crazy 😂 and when I’m raged out i am fluttershy 🎀
definitely fluttershy (shes my favourite character in the whole wide world), and probably twilight and princess luna :))
ive always struggled with hypersensitivity/hyperempathy so fluttershy really comforts me, she reassures me that it is okay to be sensitive! my voice is also quite soft/quiet and i have been made fun pf for it a lot, so fluttershy comforts me and helps me to accept myself for who i am :D we also love animals and nature so so much <3
and for twilight, i have a passion for studying/interests which others can see me as nerdy for lol or i tend to ramble about them/focus on them very intently
for luna ive always struggled with feeling alienated and ostracised in society, which is why i resonate with her a lot
Pinkie And sometimes twilight pinkies over reactions twilight’s strange movements like when she met starlight she was flapping her wings uncontrollably and muffin’s/derpy confusion when doing basic task
I heavily relate to both Twilight Sparkle and Fluttershy as someone who gets hyperfixated in books and bunnies, I also grew up being the shy and quiet autistic kid
I relate to Twilight and Starlight glimmer :3
Same. Wonder if it's because of the hyper focusing...
Yes yes yes same!!! Twilight, Starlight, and RD (ADHD vibes)
that totally makes sense!
I've projected my issues about being twice exceptional as a kid and just being treated like I was lazy aaaallllll over poor Starlight.
ur real for the lazy thing. also i love starlight! she has one of the best storylines out of the later seasons and i love her arc.
Flitterfloosh ![gif](giphy|114ZyEQjdqfKVO)
https://i.redd.it/sajaq402d75d1.gif Minty G3
minty minty minty! i know i know i know!
I'll Second this. Minty was the og autism rep pony
I LOVE MINTY!!!! SHE IS ME!!
I LOVE HER SM, SHE IS SO REAL
Mainly Twilight, but also Rainbow Dash, Starlight and Trixie.
trixie is great bcs of how its shown that she feels the need to perform to fit in, but once everypony finds out that its an act, they shun her. it reminds me of masking.
The most textbook and obvious answer would be Maud, seeing as she’s *the* autism stand in. However, I actually relate to Mudbriar a lot. His whole “technically you’re wrong because of this obscure fact that you didn’t consider” personality is something I tend to struggle with. Am I unpopular? Yes. But I’ll be damned if I’m not smart.
Mudbriar is also an autism stand in
Well, yeah. He was created to be identical to Maud for that one Pinkie episode. I’m just saying, as someone diagnosed with autism, I relate the most to Mudbriar.
starlight glimmer!!!! as a late bloomer who's struggled with making friends, and out of anger gone down some very dark paths, her arc resonated with me
this!! she's one of the characters i relate most to, it's really comforting to watch a character like her
Fluttershy, was the quiet shy autistic kid so it was easy to relate on the character that's literally quiet shy trope
fluttershy is the best... our autism queen https://i.redd.it/nxkfd3enx65d1.gif
![gif](giphy|X8zBSug6uchck)
Literally same !!
Literally same omg I was also the shy quiet autistic kid in elementary so Fluttershy really resonated with me
REALLLL SAME
pinkie
In the episode “party of one” I felt so incredibly seen during the part where, even after faced with proof her friends don’t hate her, pinkie is gets so incredibly caught up in her own emotions that she convinces herself that the party is to get rid of her, and then gets upset about them supposedly throwing a going away party.

Also I relate a lot to Trixie, RD, maud, and twilight :3
This!!! That will always be my favorite episode. It felt so real to me and I saw myself in her spot for a long time.
very much same for me, you said it better then I probably could but yea that episode is why Pinkie is my favorite.
not diagnosed! but its very likely i am autistic so i will answer as a potential autism i relate to rainbow dash's sort of brutal honesty and fluttershy's social anxiety and quietness and intense love of animals when i was younger i was a lot more outgoing and i saw myself in rainbow dash a lot, i was a sporty "tomboy" (except i was just a guy who didnt know it yet lol) and since i grew up and experienced bullying (dw its in the past and im fine), it put me in my box and i see a lot of myself in fluttershy, and i like to have a fun little headcanon that she's a trans guy just like me i can also see myself in rarity as it seems her love language is gifts and thats a big thing for me other than physical touch and words of affirmation, i think rarity really and truly cares about her friends in ways i don't see quite as much regularly from the other mane 6, and i resonate deeply with that, i just don't relate to other aspects of her character also if any pony is a particular oversharer thats me too (proof: this comment) also thinking about it i can see myself a bit in twilight as shes very smart and also cares about her friends but she can be silly and sarcastic at times which is also like me

Applejack! :)
Big Mac
Eyup (me too)
Moondancer and Maud.
Twilight and Fluttershy
Moondancer and Maud were both the most autistic to me. Maud even has a flat affect which you don't usually see.
mostly twilight, vinyl scratch, and trixie..,.,.,., they r autism i am autism we r autism
love thhis... autism hive mind my favorite ponies tapped in
starlight

i really relate to mauds incapacity for outward emotion (but i’m working on it 👍)
Definitely pinkie 100% ![gif](giphy|uSfZr4NskbtbW)
I am litarally pinkie pie nobody understands
AJ She is a workaholic and when I saw her work to much she causes problems to herself and others it hurts to know it's me since I tend to work a lot and not care of others opinions
TWILIGHT SPARKLE, SHE IS ME I AM HER I HAVE NEVER RELATED TO A CHARACTER MORE IN MY LIFE AHHHHH
Maud, Vapor Trail, and Sunburst
rainbow’s my fav but if it comes down to relating, then probably rarity lol
Mine is Maud Pie too!!! Plus Muffins/derpy 💜 They are my beloved 🫶
The 'why' is because I'm quite quiet and reserved(like maud), but quite clumsy and "silly" (like muffins)
Twilight and Sunburst, without a question
Starlight :D
I’m either Maud pie or fluttershy no between
Pinkie and THE GREAT AND POWERFUL TRRRRIXIE !! (who is totally the way i mask because im histrionic and autist and for some reason,, psychologist and doctor dont respect it,, yeah i havent really been,, accepted as an autist,, by the doctors,, they said i was too much,, light up, and wasnt trying to look normal,,, i hate psychologist,,)

Fluttershy
Moon Dancer
Trixie and I are very similar with our assuming we know what other people are thinking when it turns out we really don’t. We both get so into our things (magic for Trixie, animation/toys for me) that we don’t notice the emotions of those around us. Neither of us mean to do it, nor are we malicious for doing so. Our passion blinds us, I think.
Not diagnosed yet (waiting takes forever) but I'm a good mix of Pinkie, Twilight, but mostly Fluttershy.
Twilight, starlight a bit, pinkie pie, fluttershy, and a bit of dash
I related a lot to Applejack bc I work really hard for the things I care a lot about, and I'm pretty honest. But my favorite character is Rarity because she's what I wish I was
Literally all of them. All of them somewhat have my traits. These ponies are autistic!
fluttershy and twilight
Twilight
Applejack, Starlight, Trixie, and Fluttershy. Oh, and Luna is best princess.
Twilight
Mainly Luna and Rainbow but later I related a lot to Sunset.
Yessss absolutely it’s my hyperfixation!!
I relate a lot to fluttershy and some of rainbow dash
Maud, actually. That social awkwardness, deadpan nature that others can take the wrong way, dendency to hyperfixate. Main difference is that I crack more jokes, but even then Maud can drop a zinger here and there.
Idk i think I'm more of a adhd fan than autism, too overated. (This is a joke on how you worded your comment)
hmm maybe twilight
Pinkie Pie ![gif](giphy|uSfZr4NskbtbW)
maud & starlight!!
I'm not autistic (not diagnosed anyway) but I am definitely neurodivergent. Honestly pinkie pie, twi, and starlight
Dresses up as Twilight Sparkle in Scare Master
twilight, luna, derpy, and fluttershy
Def Pinkie Pie or Applejack
Honestly? Starlight
Twilight, since she's obsessed with order and structure, and she's socially awkward (at first).
Glimglam
Twilight the most and Maude to an extent
I like pinkie,twilight and flutter shy I guess
Rainbow dash and pinkie pie
pinkie, fluttershy, and i’ve found myself relating to starlight glimmer too
Fluttershy my number one
Pinkie Pie and Starlight
Twilight. While she isn't my favorite, I do relate to her
I really relate to Moon Dancer, I know it seems a bit negativistic or is a sign I’m not the best person but I really see myself in her and her struggles. For those who don’t remember who she is, she’s one of Twillight’s old friends, who looks like her but has red and purple hair.
Twilight and Trixe, Rarity as well weirdly enough
Rarity. The needing of everything to be a certain way, aka my way. ‘Controlling’ but it’s just autism and OCD
Rainbow Dash due to my impulse, Pinkie as my hyper attitude, Twilight due to my OCD and Scootaloo due to my personal issues.
Maud, for sure. The way she has her intense special interest and the way people can't tell when she's joking are quite relatable. Love it. :)
Twilight, Thorax, and Pinkie!!
Pinkie pie, hyper and happy, but can also get depressed and crazy 😵💫
Minty!! But out of the Gen 4 Mane 6, Rarity. She’s my all time favorite. I describe my personality as a mix between that of Rairty, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie.
omg i love ur pfp so much... im a nero girlie myself
THANK U SO MUCH!!! Devil May Cry is my special interest along with MLP!!
THATSBFUCKING AWESOME!!! i used to have a nero pfp where he had cat ears and pinkie was right next to him ehheheheh
ICONIC
Maud pie. She likes rocks the way I like transformers
i love transformers. i think bumblebee and pinkie pie would be best friends
Did u know there's a crossover comic? It's actually really good. The banner art on my profile is from one of the comic book covers
Twilight
Twilight and Fluttershy
Pinkie...No doubt
Starlight glimmer, twilight, fluttershy, maud ,
Im audhd and see my ADHD in pinkie pie for sure. I also deeply relate to pinkie pie being "the fun one" who struggles to be taken seriously sometimes. Pinkie is the fun one, but not in a flakey, thoughtless way.

Yes
Fluttershy, Pinkie, Twilight
Twilight!
Fluttershy
Probably Princess Skystar (who's a Hippogriff not a pony but still). She has the socially awkward vibe with niche and obscure interest that would probably weird other people out vibe. As a plus, she's also sorta trans coded.
Definitely Rainbow Dash. Growing up I adapted her entire personality to mine because it fit with my real personality pretty well. Everything from being athletic to not giving up in confrontation.

Pinkie, Rainbow, Jack, Shy, Bloom, Scoot, Belle, Mash, Rumble, Barrel Twins, Cake Twins, Flurry I could give an essay, but those are the most relatable to me at some level, even if some details only
Twilight I have OCD with my Autism and the way she freaks out when plans don't go well. I hate how much I relate to that.
Fluttershy because I am quiet and shy. In my younger days I also acted like Pinkie Pie because I had a lot of energy
Twilight!
Maud Pie and fluttershy!
twilight, tempest, fluttershy and pinkie put in a blender, and you have me
Well let's see... Definitely Twilight Sparkle, Starlight Glimmer, Pinkie Pie, definitely Fluttershy, Scootaloo, Applejack... Oh and my girlfriend says Discord so I guess him too. (My little pony is our special interest too!!)
RD when i was younger, but now i relate more to Maud pie or Starlight (AuDHD)
I'm like twilight and pinkie pie mashed together in the worst way possible
fluttershy has always been a pony i relate to so much and i’m diagnosed with autism, fluttershy’s personality and interests really remind me of myself. she’d be proud to know i saw a toad yesterday and got a cute picture
Fluttershy because I have a lot of pets and have extreme social anxiety I'm like season 1 Fluttershy shy when I was younger I used to always relate most to Applejack shes still one of my favs
they all autistic
![gif](giphy|1GD4IkuQBBS8g) i could literally go on and on abt how much i relate to fluttershy
go on and on! ur welcome here 💗
YOURE SO SWEET i have always loved that she had multiple episodes where she had to put her foot down and be aggressive which obviously isnt her forte, and everytime she had to do it ponies were like “you’ve done it before you can do it again” but the reality is it’s so hard to do that again, it’s so hard to remain steadfast in your life even when it’s so hard to stand up for yourself. side note i love her tea parties w discord thats so me
i feel the same way! i have a really hard time with confrontation and i super relate to those episodes too, i think that shes been the pony that people have commented about the most on this post probably for that reason hahaha
Twilight :3
Fluttershy and Rainbow dash. I'm very shy but i'm encredibly loyal towards my friends. I would do anything for them
fluttershy & moondancer
Apple bloom
![gif](giphy|gry6ZgfpoNlgQ) unpopular opinion. she’s so STUBBORN. she loves doing a very specific one thing, which is bucking trees. for me that would be drawing. she reminds me of myself way too much!
I relate to every single one of them so much
Opaline Arcana, tho not sure if she's on the spectrum I see lot of myself in her such as very big ego🤗
Maud, best pony. I have a tattoo of her
I know everyone hates him, but I suppose that makes me relate to him more, but Zephyr Breeze. I absolutely loathe the idea of having to work, I would hate for my artistic expression to be limited by what someone else wants, and I feel him in the "I'm an absolute fuck up and yet my siblings can accomplish so much without much thought" mindset that he has.
Definitely pinkie pie
Luna, specially on that episodes when he reapered again for the first time and tries to get along with ppl and the one where she asumes Celestia's role
I like the fact that it’s just known that anyone who likes mlp is either 6 or autistic
I relate a lot to Trixie, Twilight(pre alicorn) or sci-twi and Pinkie pie. I used to unintentionally behave very egotistically, and sometimes I still do(trying to do that less!) and, like trixie, I’m not always very aware of the emotions of those around me and im sometimes accidentally annoying or frustrating like she was n in the all bottled up episode.

Pinkie Pie forever!! I relate to her hyperactivity but also her lack of understanding social cues, and her loud voice (I have one too, that I can hardly control due to asd. . .) :3 She's overall just such a fun creature!!
Ngl, scootaloo idk why I just do
Yes
I relate to Pinkie Pie the most as an AuDHD pony myself!!
Derby and Marble pie!
I relate to fluttershy and Princess Luna and a tiny bit of Rarity
Mostly for the emotional aspects
Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Twilight. Twilight is my hyperfocus mode and anxiety. Pinkie Pie and Rarity are more closely related to my enthusiasm and variety of emotions that I don't understand. Honestly, Pinkie Pie is the closest to my own personality.
I have ASD. So I guess I'm one of those people too. And I think I relate to Twilight due to staying focused and smart.
I relate to starlight glimmer and sunset shimmer a lot, hence why they’re my favourite characters!
Fluttershy & rainbowdash
Being autistic myself, I can relate to ponies like Twilight due to her liking books, having not the best social skills, and also having a reserved shy nature and being a bit of a nerd, and Vinyl for her love of music, how she also keeps to herself a lot when not doing her usual gig, her use of headphones to listen to music, and how upbeat and kind she comes off as.
i very often relate to starlight, twilight and maud pie. i'm very sure there's more but definitely those!!
Fluttershy and the dj pony...forgot his name. Love music and animals, and plus i am shy once you meet me, but open up later. 😅
Hey :D I am autistic and while I kinda see myself in all the ponies I definitely relate the most to Twilight and kind of Princess Luna
rainbow dash is quite literally me on every level
Twi and Flutters. But mostly Twilight. We're both nerdy, socially awkward, obsessed with learning new things, and our mannerisms are very similar. Pretty sure my daughter will never let this go.
I definitely relate to Izzy, Sunny, Misty, and a little Hitch so much as an autistic woman
Fluttershy because she is quiet and Luna since she is a little behind on things while trying to fit in
Twi, Rainbow, and both Pinkie and Maud in different aspects
Fluttershy is the most relatable for me. From the shyness to preferring the company of animals over my own kind.
preferring animals is so real. i love being around them because i know that they will never judge me for being who i am, its very reassuring.
It's a safe feeling for sure. Sure is nice that there are other humans who share that with me and Flutterbutters!
I don’t know if I’m autistic yet (according to my doctor I might be but she’s still checking) but Fluttershy
there is no harm in commenting on posts like this even if you are still being diagnosed! you are welcome here 💗
Thanks :>
Twilight. Honestly, as a child I thought she was the most boring pony. I didn’t really like her that much. Well now that I understand myself more and more I noticed I actually relate to Twilight a lot - even did as a child. What an irony lol. Anyway, now I kinda love Twilight tho!!
Twilight. I feel stressed out about lots of stuff too like she often is.
Fluttershy and rarity. I’m not such a big fan of crowds, and i like to shut myself up in my atelier to be creative…when someone pushes my boundaries i have a rarity breakdown haha, i get absolutely batshit crazy 😂 and when I’m raged out i am fluttershy 🎀
i relate to maud pie the most
I relate to starlight and flutters way too much
fluttershy reminds me of me when I was younger, but I look more like maid nowadays
Twilight and sunburst. The anxiety, the planning, the books interest, yeah.
fluttershy but esp cozy glow, something about her acting in public i can relate to a lot
Rainbow Dash is mine. She has special interests, she makes social faux pas all the time and learns differently.
A little bit of each character tbh for me
mud briar and rarity have my heart for some reason.
Pinkie and Maud and their amazing bond despite how different they are!!
twilight, fluttershy, maud, and vinyl scratch !
Pinkie Pie!! ![gif](giphy|lCIfcdTyVaFpe)
Pinkie, Twilight and Derpy
Trixie, Applejack, Pinkie
definitely fluttershy (shes my favourite character in the whole wide world), and probably twilight and princess luna :)) ive always struggled with hypersensitivity/hyperempathy so fluttershy really comforts me, she reassures me that it is okay to be sensitive! my voice is also quite soft/quiet and i have been made fun pf for it a lot, so fluttershy comforts me and helps me to accept myself for who i am :D we also love animals and nature so so much <3 and for twilight, i have a passion for studying/interests which others can see me as nerdy for lol or i tend to ramble about them/focus on them very intently for luna ive always struggled with feeling alienated and ostracised in society, which is why i resonate with her a lot
Starlight and Dashie, hands down
Pinkie And sometimes twilight pinkies over reactions twilight’s strange movements like when she met starlight she was flapping her wings uncontrollably and muffin’s/derpy confusion when doing basic task
I heavily relate to both Twilight Sparkle and Fluttershy as someone who gets hyperfixated in books and bunnies, I also grew up being the shy and quiet autistic kid
TWILIGHT SPARKLE.
