Description
I’ve been on an MLP: FIM binge lately, and one thing that I’ve always loved about the show is how relatable the characters are. I’ve also realized that the show represents mental conditions very well. Conditions like Asperger’s (which I have), even though they can give us some challenges, can also be a blessing in a number of different ways. Here are some connections with characters in MLP that I came up with:
Twilight: Asperger’s Syndrome (And Sci-Twi probably has it worse than her)
Rarity and Spike: OCD
Applejack: Bipolarism
Pinkie Pie: ADHD
Rainbow Dash: ADD (She and Pinkie both have a lot of energy, but Pinkie has it worse. Rainbow isn’t constantly hyper like her and shows that she can sit still for longer, so she would just be ADD, not ADHD)
Fluttershy: Anxiety
Trixie: Narcisistic Personality Disorder
Starlight Glimmer and Sunset Shimmer: Anger management-related disorders
Cranky Doodle Donkey: Depression
Cozy Glow: ODD/Childhood delinquency (and a very severe case of it at that. Queen Chrysalis and Tirek were already awful people, which explains how they became such powerful villians, but keep in mind that Cozy Glow is just a kid! It’s kind of scary how she became such a big villian if you think about it)
Princess Luna: PTSD (formerly)
Also remember that some characters might have the same disability, like how Princess Celestia might also have Asperger’s and Discord might also have authority troubles. Let me know if I missed any and all that.

I’m preety sure both AJ and Rarity have OCD in some deegre.
I guess Cozy glow in some percent has it.
Well it could mean you just learn to live with it. Or as sarge used to say ‘You stop regretting.’
Twilight-OCD
Pinkie pie-ASD,BPD And ADHD
Rarity-BPD
Fluttershy-ASD and SAD
Applejack-workaholic
Rainbowdash-Narcissistic said ADHD
You might say Sunset Shimmer is mad about everything.
Sci-Twi could have Asperger’s, or just be a major nerd (which she is) with some initial self-esteem issues whilst at Crystal Prep. I would say Friendship Games showed some serious PTSD. Basically, I see Sci-Twi as a quintessential INTP. (And yes, Perceivers can be organized.) Sunset, of course, has anger issues.
Hello, I need to talk with You!!
Applejack lost her parents, so she can get depressed?
Starlight also has stress disorder.
Edit: I read the description and you said you suffer from Aspergers as well so maybe you see the symptoms in Twi that I don’t see, fair play.
Edited
That would be Twilight, since the DSM has folded Aspergers into the Autism spectrum, referring to it as High-Functioning Autism.
And I thought I was the only one who remembered CMFIS.
Oh okay and some of those sound familiar 🤔🤔
OCD: obsessive compulsive disorder
ADHD: attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
ADD: attention deficit disorder
PTSD: post traumatic stress disorder
ODD: oppositional defiance disorder
most of these are TYPES of autism
