    My channel is for MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY, NOT FOR KIDS. Just because my videos have animated characters in them DOES NOT mean that my content is for children. I cover some mature topics with these characters and they're NOT MEANT for younger audiences. If any one is under 13 years old, this channel and my videos are certainly not for you.

    I struggle with anxiety due to my autism. I worry about what people think of me and I think the worst of situations. I just wish I could be fully understood because of my autism.

    This is such a fantastic and very touching reading Ribonchan, you guys all did such a marvelous and spectacular job with this project make no mistake about it,
    and you're right Ribon, autism is nothing to laugh at or to make fun of, and those who have it shouldn't feel like freaks, because autism or no, they are still people.

    What a marvelous story and adaptation! As you know Ribon, I have high functioning autism, and have lived life getting through it (which I posted a blog about on FiMFiction awhile back), and thankfully with the help of God, my parents, and various teachers, it's been a success, and I've learned from personal experience that there can be pros to having autism such as a rule to follow rules, selective hearing, super focus each if done correctly, and high creativity among other things. And I'm glad and honored to have friends with whom I can relate to in terms of autism such as yourself among others.

    I would like to say something about this video and what it means to me.
    About half a year ago, I had recently found out that I was born with Aspergers, and throughout my life my own parents never told me. (Even my own sister, Sound Track, knew about it and was surprised that I was never told about it before.) I only found this out by accident when my mother told my girlfriend, Neon Track, about my condition, and then Neon told me. The realization about this totally shook me to my core. I had a very nervous breakdown about my own life choices, my interests, my way of thinking, my learning habits, my awkward socializing skills, and all of my past memories of how I was treated differently from everyone else I had ever known, and that realization hit me like a truck. And that realization, that I was not "normal", because there was something "wrong" with my brain, it made me feel really sad. When I asked my mother why she never told me straight that I was diagnosed, she never wanted me to feel different from other people. She figured that since my autism was high-functioning, I wouldn't have too many problems with my condition, as long as I always worked on my behavior and social habits.
    Several months later, when I returned to making videos on my UA-cam channel again, I told about my condition and the circumstances about how I came to learn about it to my audience in a video. I didn't know what to expect from opening up about my Aspergers to my fans, friends, and viewers, I just wanted to get it off my chest and see what would happen. Within days after uploading the video, I received so many replies about the matter. Some people commended me for opening up about my autism, others said that they had suspicions about me being diagnosed yet they didn't think differently of me, and others opened up about how they had autism as well. The sheer positivity from these comments was joyfully overwhelming to say the least. One comment line in particular really caught my eye, it was from
    MissKoiFishPony, who told me that she also had autism and how she was an active speaker for autism awareness. She told me her life story about living with autism and wanted to let me know personally that if I had any questions on the subject, I can talk to her with no problems. Then she directed me to this video of this audio reading of a fanfic that she wrote. And that's how I came here.
    After watching this video, and the love and care that was put into the story and the live reading, it was simply a treat to listen too. Maybe it's because of my love for MLP:FIM or maybe it's because Pinkie Pie is my favorite pony, but I really connected to Pinkie when she said that she had Aspergers and explained her past social situations, and how they were somewhat similar to my own. It made me appreciate how someone could show care and understanding to someone who felt so out of place in society, because they themselves know that feeling as well. And yet, Pinkie never let the limits of her disability keep her from having an enjoyable life. And she wanted to ensure Roseluck that even though Bow Heart will have difficulties in her life, if she has love and guidance from those who care, she'll make it fine. That was so inspiring, so beautiful, it spoke to me in a way. This fanfic reading is a beautiful love letter to those with Autism, along with their loved ones, letting people like me know that we're are not alone and we're amazing people as well. Thank you for making this audio reading, I'm glad MissKoiFishPony directed me to it!

      I’m very glad you enjoyed it, Fast, and thank you for sharing your autism story. This fanfic reading was one of the most challenging for me to record and put together. As I said in the ending blurb of this reading, I’m high functioning autistic and was diagnosed at an early age.
      My younger sister also has severe autism to the point where she can’t talk or communicate like other people can. Several years ago, she had caused a lot of turmoil and stress onto my family and I due to her eloping into a near busy road near my home several times until she got hit by a car.
      That lead to my family making the very difficult decision to put her in a residential home for disabled adults where she is to this day.
      When I first read Comfort Zones, it was not too long after my sister was put into the facility. It had brought me to tears. I was close to tears many times during the production of this adaptation from recording the ending message, singing the lullaby as Pinkie, to playing Bow Heart herself, aka. basically channeling how my sister acts. I’m actually tearing up just typing this response to you right now because of how much this story hits home for me.
      If you would like to speak of your own experiences with autism, my door is always open. You can talk to me at any time.

    I work in an amusement park and it always used to make me worry when I saw a child with autism. I felt bad for them and, I'll admit, a bit angry at the parents for putting their child in such an uncomfortable situation. This story has changed my point of view though and I think maybe next time, I'll be more caring and understanding.

  • @pastelskies99
    @pastelskies99 4 роки тому +4

    god, that was heartwarming. I always kind of headcanon pinkie to be autistic as well and hearing someone say that pinkie was also autistic made me cry tears of joy because I relate a lot to pinkie myself. I'm autistic and I have Aspergers(non-verbal and a learning disability) and it was really hard growing up and struggling in school while others were able to advance faster, I felt stupid and honestly didn't want to try sometimes. Before I got the proper treatment. I almost wanted to cry when someone back in high school thought that I was autistic. I feel like if people know I have autism, they will treat me differently. Anyway enough about me, but seriously more disorders should be shown in children's shows for awareness and not A$ who claim that they care but they don't. Wear red instead

    I was not personally diagnosed with Autism but when I was diagnosed with my learning disability. They said it was very likely I have autism plus my sister has it so I know a thing or two about it. My sister was and isn't that obvious for she is very high functioning. like the bluntness and she has extreme anxiety. Her friends that were supposed to be life long called her rude and abandoned her. No one understood why she made things about herself and they didn't want or chose to learn about her disability so she lost almost everyone she held dear in the span of a month. I just want to thank everyone who goes and learns about it. Autism is very real thing and that person is as normal as anybody else! You shouldn't judge people just because they talk, act, or learn differently. Autism is real and should be treated as normal thing. It should not be a word adolescent's throw around to mean stupid cause that's not what autism means. Please do your research and don't judge people just because you don't understand them. People are borin different you don't have to like it you just have to accept it. ♥️🧡💛💚💙💜

I have autism myself and I used to have bullying issues every day and I have trouble keeping friends or making them people even treated me and told me that I was a monster or something else bad heck I even had a ex girlfriend who cheated and broke up with me all bc I was autistic and etc but this story touched my heart and soul and I’m so sorry you had to go through that and for those who are like me and go through this your not alone I hope and pray that everyone even me won’t have to suffer like that ever again. I’m so happy and I was brought to tears seeing this video and tbh no one deserves bad treatment or anything like that and I have depression not just bc of those reasons but bc I had trouble letting go and when I saw this it changed my life for the better and I wish that all you have a better life even myself. Ps funny story I didn’t know pinkie pie had autism tbh but still I wish you all the best of luck.

    Though i agree with the majority of things that you have mentioned after the fanfic reading(coming from someone who is on the spectrum), I feel like it should be Autism Acceptance Month. I feel like the mood of the topic a little somber(for good reasons), but we as a community need to accept it rather than a disease. Though it is a learning disability, it's not only that. Autistic people just see things differently. We can't it let define us, but we gotta embrace the good parts as well. Thank you for sharing Ribonchan!

    • @Ribonchan

      Seriously companies like autism speaks get it wrong
      We aren't disabled but differently abled
      We can still be a part of the world
      We just see it differently
      Perhaps that's why i watched stuff like barbie and Mlp as a kid
      Because i didn't care about who it was for
      I just enjoyed
      Perhaps that's the real Source of my imagination
      It wasn't a game
      But The Imagination i already had
      It just needed a Spark

    i have Asperger's and this greatly over simplify's Asperger's just going somewhere where theirs a lot of people and noise just takes a small amount of time to adjust to and dose not solve the issue you have to talk with people face two face alot to see any improvement. i think this dose a disservice to people with Asperger's as this just says "just do this and it will get better" that not how it works yes getting use to crowds is an improvement but is not a big one and certainly dose not solve it on its own.
    note:for people who say "someone with Asperger's cant type something like this" irl and online are way different m8

    This made me cry. Again.
    I can't find the words to explain how much I love this. This story means the world to me, along with its performance.
    I'm 20yo (male), and I too have autism, but I don't know what exactly (ADHD? Asperger? Something else?). And that's due to my biggest problem: My parents NEVER got me an autism diagnosis at all. I had to figure it out on my own over time, which I started to have doubts about it ~over a year ago, and only got confirmation on it when my sister talked to me about it a few months ago (she lives away for her study now, so we don't talk much).
    I don't know if my parents are aware of my autism, but I'm scared to talk about it to them anyway. I don't know if they realized long ago that I could be autistic, but were in denial of this and didn't diagnose me on purpose, or if they really didn't know; but either way, I feel betrayed and hurt. I'm as dependent as can be. It's slowly getting better since I found MLP in October 2019, as I for example managed to get my drivers license since then; but I still am unable to have a job; take care of most any chores regarding owning a house; taking care of bills; or anything involving social interactions with other.
    >>> I'm looking to find people who I can talk to about my autism within the fandom, but I don't know where to look. If anyone knows a discord server for example, or any other place I can turn to, I would be forever grateful.
    Thanks again for making this. I needed this. It pushed me to start actively doing some research on autism; and even if it's very hard because I'm going from 0 and don't know where to look; it's important for me to understand what I have so that I can better fight it.
    This fimfiction and its performance are a blessing. Thanks to you all for making this

    I would Play around in my head as long as i could remember
    But these Shows, games and movies?
    They were my home
    My Home irl was Never really A true home for me
    Yeah i enjoy It but i always wanted to explore
    And these shows gave me that Experience
    To me it was That Power that gave me A new experience
    The very one That Pinkie and friends know so well
    THE MAGIC OF FRIENDSHIP...i dont have
    But Its How i learned from my imagination That Allowed me to see Friendship's power
    I may not have friends
    But i do have Characters to be with

    Oh my god that was so beautiful!! Super props to the author!!! I'm a special needs nanny as well as a disabled child growing up (I have autism like symptoms but as result of TBIs and epilepsy). That one friend I got in grade 6 (age 11/12ish) who got me and really saw me was a literal life saver. At age 16 I was attempting suicide off n on for most of that year. She caught on and told on me. I've been in therapy with a wonderful doctor for the last 10 years and am happily married for 5 years. Unfortunately my parents didn't want to deal with the social/emotional growth and only saw the medical side. But thanks to a marvelous husband who dis the social training my parents didn't do and a good therapist I am functional enough to teach less functional children how to manage. This story is so very real and I'm so very happy to have found this. Fuck I'm crying now.
