I love My Little Pony and Littlest Pet Shop. My favorite ponies are Rarity and Rainbow Dash. I love to write fanfiction, but I need to learn to pace better.

Rainbow Dash struggles with reading and paying attention, but she wants to get better so she can continue playing sports. She is willing to do anything to help, and that includes being placed in special ed.

Hmm, very interesting. I was put in special ed because I never understood math and I have a friend with ADHD, so I'm very familiar with this.

This was a lot better than I expected.

Honestly, I picture Dash with good grades. I mean, if she wants to go to an academy like the Wonderbolts in the Pony world, then she would work on homework every day. (Don't hate me for saying that :fluttershysad: )

EDIT: Sorry for not reading the Author's Note. I thought the story was because of something else.

She was portrayed as someone who often sleeps in class in the Equestria Girls comic that I read. This was also largely based off Testing 1 2 3.

Is that such a surprise? You saw how she was in Winter Wrap Up.

Attention Defective Hyperactive Disorder

That's "Attention Deficit/Hyperactive Disorder."

I don't read the comics because of what happened in the Christmas Special comic.

I didn't read that one. I read the one where Sunset Shimmer went to the world Equestria Girls takes place. Christmas theme stuff are usually cringy in my opinion. Despite that, I wrote a Christmas theme fanfiction. It's not published yet.

Sigh, needs work, and I'm not impressed. You make rainbow seem too eager to be put in a special ed class, and you don't have any OC with more serve conditions?

Rainbow is eager to get help because she wouldn't be able to play sports if she has failing grades. Rainbow also would like to be in special ed considering how they get easier work. She's that kind of character in my opinion. Also, this isn't an OC fanfiction. All of the characters are canon. I have OCs with issues, but no, I won't put them in the fanfiction. I typically like to keep OCs and canon characters separate. Sometimes, I put them together, but this isn't one of those times.

Did I correctly write a character with ADHD and dyslexia? I mean in this fanfiction, did Rainbow show to have those? I tried to put special ed in a positive light in this story. If this is offensive to people in special ed, please tell me where it's offensive. I genuinely don't want to make special ed sound bad.

Christmas theme stuff are usually cringy in my opinion.

Why's that?

6666388

I'm not completely sure why. Christmas stuff, especially in children's shows, seems to be all the same. They learn the importance of giving. I'm not saying giving is wrong, but that theme gets tiring after awhile. I am not saying all children shows are like that, but it seems common.

6666423
In some cases aren't like that. Have you heard the story of Christmas Carol?

6666123 While I may not have what she's got I do have a tendency to mess up on my grammar when ever I type on my computer,but I've gotten better from experience. Though the story is short it does convey about what Rainbow is struggling with everyday.
Love the way you put some of the other characters at the end though :heart:

6666377 Yo, I had the same problems as Dash, cept im not as athletic as she is. I prefered to just curl and read a good book. It got so bad that my teachers had to take my library book away from during class cause I would be reading them and not paying attention:twilightsheepish: So, I loved this story and I'm diggin your pen name. Im a huge Rarity fan, and yes Could see as as havin OCD like twilight:twilightsmile:

6666458
By Charles Dickens? That story is completely about the importance of giving. That's, like, half the moral.

6666748
Really? I thought it was about having a change of heart and no distancing from family.

interesting but feels rushed.

OCD or OCPD? Obsessive Compulsive is where you have impulses you know make no sense and can't help yourself lest you suffer severe anxiety or can't resist at all, Obsessive Compulsive Personality is where you demand perfection well past the silly to the hurtful stage. IE "If only they followed the schedule or plan it would all be perfect" and its everyone else who has the problem, not them

I don't know. I hear way too many definitions for OCD and OCPD. I don't know which is correct anymore.

6666377 ADHD varies from person to person. I've had ADHD since I was little. It was less being bored in classes, as I found learning to be super interesting, it was just my mind tended to wander when we spent more than a couple minutes on one task or topic. Still, it would be easy to justify that behavior to oneself saying the topics are boring, and I can definitely sympathize with Rainbow's trouble keeping still and daydreaming.

As a teen diagnosed with ADHD I sympathize with Rainbow. I'm required to use a calculator and I have to type words.

It took me forever to edit that, even when I thought about making that edit several times.

I wish there was mythology class. That would be awesome
