Well thanks for reading it! I'm doing this to raise a smidgen of awarness on autism... Plus my little bro is actually a great muse at punching me right in the feels, so I was hopeing to write something that can do that.
Congratulations, you have now attracted a reader with high-functioning Autism. I'll be interested in seeing how this plays out.

Well I definitely can't wait to read what you have next! I always think that if you can feel what your characters are feeling, you can write it.
Well he is definitely helping to turn out a good story! And it makes it even better for your character because you can accurately portray him and Wind Breeze and their interactions...based on your wonderful little bro!

3?! Holy sweet Celestia i didn't even think that many people would read it, let alone people with HFA(?).
I really appreciate the chance you guys are giving me!
3026771 I mean autism is kind of hard to deal with. I am a 10th grader in high school right now. Autism makes certain social interactions a nightmare. It makes it difficult to read body language and project empathy. It also makes certain things feelings extremely uncomfortable to you and effects your emotional control. Some advice for your brother. Autism calms down with age. But it will be never completely go away. But as you get older you will find it easier to control. Hope this helps you.

Thanks man...
One of the biggest tricks is that people with Autism think differently, and figuring out how to teach them to live. People with Autism rely HEAVILY on law and order to make sense of the world. You pretty much need to tell these people social rules directly; no subtle hinting either, that doesn't work. At least as far as HFA is concerned, logic comes naturally to people like those, but emotions can be a nightmare to deal with. In my case, the emotional sensitivity is effectively permanently amped up way too high. This would be why Autistic people avoid social contact. If you want an example of someone with this sort of oversensitivity (and the shyness that would likely come with it, which it does in my case, not to mention how angrily we may need to react in certain cases IRL to avoid psychological harm), then here you go ->

On the good side, people (at least those with HFA) tend to be really good with stuff like mathematics, science, computer programming (*has a 1st class honours masters degree in Computer Science*), just posting this as proof that things are far more positive than you may think they are. I don't think it's any coincidence that my favourite ponies in the Mane 6 are
