0,0:12:53.56,0:12:55.34,Default,,0,0,0,,and could she come over and show me some stuff?

Dialogue:
0,0:12:55.34,0:12:58.28,Default,,0,0,0,,And I said, sure. So we actually went upstairs to my little studio.

Dialogue:
0,0:12:58.68,0:13:00.34,Default,,0,0,0,,Dear Princess Celestia.

Dialogue:
0,0:13:00.58,0:13:04.48,Default,,0,0,0,,And I recorded Twilight Sparkle for her and Pinkie Pie and I think it was

Dialogue:
0,0:13:04.68,0:13:07.84,Default,,0,0,0,,either Rainbow Dash or Applejack for just the pitch.

Dialogue:
0,0:13:08.08,0:13:12.12,Default,,0,0,0,,She did say that Pinkie Pie was, you know, the party girl and really happy,

Dialogue:
0,0:13:12.12,0:13:17.18,Default,,0,0,0,,and she wanted sort of high pitched, um, really silly girl, girlie girl.

Dialogue:
0,0:13:17.18,0:13:21.56,Default,,0,0,0,,And that she wanted Twilight to be a little bit more serious, still likeable.

Dialogue:
0,0:13:21.56,0:13:26.14,Default,,0,0,0,,She's sort of the leader of the ponies, um, and book smart,

Dialogue:
0,0:13:26.14,0:13:30.84,Default,,0,0,0,,and a little bit nerdy, but still someone that you'd want to hang out with.

Dialogue:
0,0:13:30.84,0:13:34.98,Default,,0,0,0,,And knowing that she had to be, you know, bookish, but still cute.

Dialogue:
0,0:13:35.40,0:13:37.32,Default,,0,0,0,,Um, and it's right in that pocket where it's like,

Dialogue:
0,0:13:37.32,0:13:40.22,Default,,0,0,0,,Dear Princess Celestia, today I learned

Dialogue:
0,0:13:40.22,0:13:45.06,Default,,0,0,0,,And then she'll talk about whatever it was that her, friendship lesson of the day.

Dialogue:
0,0:13:45.06,0:13:47.10,Default,,0,0,0,,Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle.

Dialogue:
0,0:13:47.10,0:13:49.02,Default,,0,0,0,,Once she heard my Twilight, she's like,

Dialogue:
0,0:13:49.02,0:13:52.14,Default,,0,0,0,,[gasp] Oh my gosh, you're- you're Twilight, that's my Twi.

Dialogue:
0,0:13:52.68,0:13:55.98,Default,,0,0,0,,My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is about a bunch of

Dialogue:
0,0:13:55.98,0:14:02.64,Default,,0,0,0,,tiny, little, cute little herbivores, that are facing down these titanic personified evils.

Dialogue:
0,0:14:03.16,0:14:07.10,Default,,0,0,0,,And, I think some days we all feel like that.

Dialogue:
0,0:14:07.10,0:14:11.92,Default,,0,0,0,,We all feel like we're just a little small thing facing down these

Dialogue:
0,0:14:12.78,0:14:15.24,Default,,0,0,0,,huge forces that are greater than us.

Dialogue:
0,0:14:27.46,0:14:30.74,Default,,0,0,0,,Animals I find much more, like easier when I'm trying to relax

Dialogue:
0,0:14:30.74,0:14:34.30,Default,,0,0,0,,or that you know, cool down from talking to a lot of people.

Dialogue:
0,0:14:39.06,0:14:43.32,Default,,0,0,0,,They don't have any sort of major demands, not emotional demands anyway.

Dialogue:
0,0:14:43.72,0:14:48.04,Default,,0,0,0,,So I feel like they're much easier to understand and interact with.

Dialogue:
0,0:14:48.80,0:14:49.58,Default,,0,0,0,,Yeah!

Dialogue:
0,0:14:50.20,0:14:52.64,Default,,0,0,0,,When I took him for his three-year assessment,

Dialogue:
0,0:14:52.64,0:14:55.56,Default,,0,0,0,,I was talking to the health visitor and Daniel was behind me.

Dialogue:
0,0:14:55.84,0:14:58.80,Default,,0,0,0,,And she said to me, Does he always do that?

Dialogue:
0,0:14:58.80,0:15:03.10,Default,,0,0,0,,And I turned around, and he'd lined all the chairs up in the room,

Dialogue:
0,0:15:03.10,0:15:06.46,Default,,0,0,0,,right, really straight, all the way across the room,

Dialogue:
0,0:15:06.46,0:15:10.58,Default,,0,0,0,,which he did with everything; his toys, video- he used to make a video-

Dialogue:
0,0:15:10.58,0:15:15.02,Default,,0,0,0,,a line from the telly, all the way into the kitchen, with videos.

Dialogue:
0,0:15:15.02,0:15:17.22,Default,,0,0,0,,And, anything he used to line up.

Dialogue:
0,0:15:17.72,0:15:19.84,Default,,0,0,0,,And so I said, Yes, he always does that.

Dialogue:
0,0:15:19.84,0:15:21.98,Default,,0,0,0,,And she said, I think we need to have a talk,

Dialogue:
0,0:15:21.98,0:15:25.08,Default,,0,0,0,,and he was diagnosed with Asperger's.

Dialogue:
0,0:15:30.94,0:15:34.54,Default,,0,0,0,,Having Asperger's is like... well, I really can't explain it.

Dialogue:
0,0:15:35.32,0:15:39.70,Default,,0,0,0,,It's basically not being able to understand maybe people's emotions, at a time,

Dialogue:
0,0:15:39.70,0:15:44.20,Default,,0,0,0,,or understand why someone would do something on an emotional level.

Dialogue:
0,0:15:44.94,0:15:47.76,Default,,0,0,0,,Are they sad? Are they happy? Are they angry?

Dialogue:
0,0:15:48.34,0:15:51.38,Default,,0,0,0,,Something like that is very difficult for someone with Asperger's, usually.

Dialogue:
0,0:15:51.74,0:15:55.94,Default,,0,0,0,,Daniel first told me about six months ago.

Dialogue:
0,0:15:56.36,0:16:00.08,Default,,0,0,0,,I was thinking, Oh, I like this show, I want pony stuff.

Dialogue:
0,0:16:00.08,0:16:04.70,Default,,0,0,0,,How am I going to go about getting them without telling them anything about it.

Dialogue:
0,0:16:04.70,0:16:09.66,Default,,0,0,0,,So I sort of just sat my mom down and said, Okay, I'm gonna tell you something a bit weird.

Dialogue:
0,0:16:09.66,0:16:11.94,Default,,0,0,0,,And I thought, Oh my God, what is it?

Dialogue:
0,0:16:12.62,0:16:16.12,Default,,0,0,0,,Um, and he says, I really like this program, I want you to watch it,

Dialogue:
0,0:16:16.12,0:16:17.70,Default,,0,0,0,,don't say anything, just watch it.

Dialogue:
0,0:16:18.72,0:16:20.34,Default,,0,0,0,,[television] No distractions.

Dialogue:
0,0:16:21.98,0:16:24.86,Default,,0,0,0,,I was thinking, Oh my God, why does he like this?

Dialogue:
0,0:16:25.52,0:16:30.18,Default,,0,0,0,,And after it had finished, I thought, Well [sigh] Yeah, I can see why he likes it.

Dialogue:
0,0:16:30.48,0:16:32.40,Default,,0,0,0,,And I thought, He's gonna get obsessed with this

Dialogue:
0,0:16:32.40,0:16:35.64,Default,,0,0,0,,Soon as I saw it, I knew that he was- he would be obsessed with it.

Dialogue:
0,0:16:35.90,0:16:39.04,Default,,0,0,0,,The ponies I would most relate to would probably be Twilight,

Dialogue:
0,0:16:39.06,0:16:42.28,Default,,0,0,0,,because she gets very freaked out when elements don't go her way.

Dialogue:
0,0:16:42.28,0:16:45.62,Default,,0,0,0,,I mean, I can see a lot of him in some of the characters.

Dialogue:
0,0:16:45.92,0:16:49.68,Default,,0,0,0,,And so I, I thought, I bet he can see himself in a lot of the characters.

Dialogue:
0,0:16:49.94,0:16:53.98,Default,,0,0,0,,If something she's trying to achieve goes out of her control, or that she fails at,

Dialogue:
0,0:16:53.72,0:16:57.72,Default,,0,0,0,,she gets very anxious, or agitated, or very stressed out.

Dialogue:
0,0:16:58.30,0:17:01.28,Default,,0,0,0,,Or she has a mental, psychological breakdown, goes crazy.

Dialogue:
0,0:17:01.44,0:17:04.60,Default,,0,0,0,,It looks like some pony's getting themselves all worked up over nothing.

Dialogue:
0,0:17:05.02,0:17:07.90,Default,,0,0,0,,[kick] This is not nothing. This is everything!
