  1. As far as I know, the brony fandom is still alive and kicking.
  2. I wish I was diagnosed that early. It would have helped me understand why I was different from everyone in my life. I was diagnosed at age 19.
  3. I found this huge MLP activity kit at Tuesday Morning. It’s around a meter tall.IMG_1997.thumb.jpeg.4e8d93fef615f7d54d7601205e09ad90.jpeg

  4. Yes, there really are some people out there who use the label for attention but were not officially diagnosed. The vast majority of those with autism just use it to explain themselves to people. It is unfortunate that there are a tiny minority of people posing as autistic for social media attention and the like, and it gives away to neurotypicals the impression that autism is simply a fad diagnosis that is passed out willy-nilly to people who are just nerds or a little strange. However, in reality there is a threshold for how many of the traits you need in order to be diagnosed with the condition. A couple peculiarities do not indicate autism. Having actual difficulties with social interaction and routines or highly focused interests or differences in processing sensory information are the basic characteristics of autism. However, it is rare for a person to have every single trait to extreme degrees like autism is depicted in the media. Every autistic person is affected differently, and no two people have exactly the same experiences.
  5. Happy Valentine’s Day / Hearts and Hooves Day, everypony!

     

  6. Happy 12th anniversary MLP: FIM

     

  7. Here’s my tribute video for Pinkie Pie.
  8. Same here. The summers get really hot here in Phoenix, Arizona, so I don’t see the point of unnecessary fabric covering my thigh. Also, at this time, I sometimes wear short pants that show my knees, and if I were to wear boxers or boxer-briefs under them my underwear would be visible if I were sitting or reclining. That’s a big no-no for me. On the flipside, if I were to go to some place that gets really cold in the winter, I like to wear boxer-briefs because they keep my hip region and thigh warm.
  9. I’m old enough to remember when G3 MLP was the latest edition to the franchise.
  10. I honestly don’t hate the Student Six with all my guts, I just don’t care about these characters much. I think that Snip, Snails, Flim, and Flam are still more aggravating, although the Student Six are more or less annoying. The only character that I have a little tiny bit of empathy for is Yona, however, that’s not saying much. My main problem with the Student Six is that they are introduced in the 2nd last season of the show and a lot of focus is put on them, rather than the Mane Six and the CMC. In fact I counted 17 episodes that they starred in, less than a whole season of MLP! The only reason they exist is to introduce and continue the School of Friendship plot, which, in my opinion, was a very, very bad idea.
  11. I think curiosity is what draws most teens and adults into the show.
  12. I just like to give my opinion anyway. It might help someone who is not the OP.
  13. I honestly think a large subset of bronies are autistic. People who study fandoms have shown that there is a greater percentage of autistic people involved in fandoms than the general public. I think this is because 1. autistic people tend to have very strong interests, and 2. they find it easier to socialize with people who share their interests.
  14. Even a pegasus born without wings is still a pegasus genetically, although they might be able to pass as an earth pony if they please.
  15. Black, brown, white, and grey. What is the largest dinosaur?
