I'm am an autistic brony, looking to write fantasy and everyday life novels for my kind. I became a brony when I related well with applejack and twlight, and I love the show.

This story is a sequel to The Silver Spoons; A Tragic Silver Spoon Story


If you want to read this story first to get to the parts with Luna and the autistic foal first (and don't care about spoilers) then read below.

After her parents’ divorce, Silver Spoon has chosen to move to Manehattan with her mother instead of staying with her father in Ponyville. It wasn’t an easy decision, leaving all of her friends behind, but she felt it was necessary. Living in the city will mean that she will have more opportunities to follow the destiny her new cutie mark has chosen for her after she was changed by the events of The Silver Spoons.
In the city, she will make and help friends new and old, find love for the first time, figure out her feelings toward her parents after all they’ve done, and find a way to help her aunt and autistic cousin through their hard times.
All the while, she’s trying to figure out why Luna insists on visiting her dreams and what her older sister, Octavia, meant by her last words before she headed back home.

A silver spoon redemption story? Eh, why not?

4475868 Believe me, these stories are good.

I'm looking forward to the next chapter. :twilightsmile:
Once again good job it's nice to see this up.:pinkiesmile:

Looking forward to more

Suri Polomare and Diamond Tiara are sisters? This explains SO MUCH!

No offense, but you have to be very good with MS Paint to actually acceptable artwork with it. My profile pic is actually one of my MS Paint creations.

Silver Spoon struggled to breath

Silver Spoon struggled to breathe.

I can't wait till the next chapter! Something tells me it's going to be good!

Really liking it so far I hope to see more. I like all of your ocs personalities (especially Lucky) and I approve of her soon to be coltfriend. Hope to see more :3

Please tell me this story isn't dead.

5848278 it's not, I just lost the drive to write this one for a while

5848314 Oh, okay! :twilightsmile: That's good to know. Seriously. This story is amazing.

5848323 thanks, feel free to checkout some of my other works while you wait, though

When is Silver Spoon gonna write to da CMC? If my memory serves me correctly she still has to.

This needs to be continued soon.

Octavia’s eyes widened. “Sister, such language.”

Silver Spoon gasped. “Sister, such language.”

that last line made me :rainbowlaugh: "mm coconut" for some reason i found that just adorable.:twilightsmile:

“Those damn therapist, why don’t they fucking do something? Ah!” She screamed as Decimal spat and threw her off.

is it like, okay to laugh at this?:unsuresweetie:

also a little detail, if Silver Spoon's face got swatted (even though she wasn't physically hurt) wouldn't her glasses have been knocked off?

She didn’t know how, but she was going to find a way to help her cousin. Her mother hadn’t forced her to say please, and she was going to take full advantage of it.

I don't understand what "please" has to do with anything.

Okay-
1. Babs is taken a big risk because Manehatten Cops are canon
orig11.deviantart.net/f4d3/f/2016/093/2/4/pony_cop_by_cheezedoodle96-d9xlgmv.png she's watching you, Babs Seed!
2. How can she have cash to just throw away like that?
3. does there have to be a three?:unsuresweetie:

“It’s great,” Silver Spoon said with a raised eyebrow,

yeah it's great if you don't mind all the drug dealers and sex offenders hanging around and dropping used needles and :trollestia:knows what other USED items they leave around.:pinkiesick:

at first I was thinking Lucky (who is obviously a threat to herself and others) was full on schizophrenic but I was diagnosed once with something called Schizoaffective disorder, which is borderline schizophrenia, exhibiting many of the same symptoms though not as severe. Was later traded for a bipolar diagnosis.:twilightsheepish:

Babs said that they were the best friends a pony could ask for, and she was going to trust her in that regard.

I'm sorry but Babs Seed has allot of trust building to do. I mean it's not like she totally betrayed her own cousin and then the two ponies she just made friends with all in one week.

I'll shutup now.:unsuresweetie:

by the way this is what bipolar disorder looks like.:pinkiecrazy::pinkiesad2:

“From the Star Tracking movies of course,” Lucky explained, “they’re so good, they must be real.” She then leaned into Silver Spoon.

OH my GAWD I just had a "Galaxy Quest" flashback!:twistnerd:

About 1.5% of children in the United States (one in 68) are diagnosed with ASD as of 2014, a 30% increase from one in 88 in 2012.

I think having Babs say autism is pretty "common" in her school is either overstating things or there is something terribly wrong in Manehatten that is creating these developmental disabilities.

1 out 68 US students have autism and thats the entire United States. We're talking about one city!

Though I will admit.. we have not yet met a single well adjusted and fully functioning foal in this story. Unless you count Babs and she's not exactly a foal.:twilightsheepish:

Silver Spoon didn’t know a lot about body language, but relaxed certainly wasn’t what Decimal seemed to display.

actually I believe I remember commenting on the previous story about how it was cool (and yet tragic) that Silver Spoon knew so much about body language she could tell Applebloom still hated her even when she put on her best false front to try and get to know her.

remember her strict training?:twilightsheepish:

“Hey, blankie, still looking for a cutie mark with the baby classes?” Silver Spoon heard someone say as she and Decimal walked into the schoolyard.

(unnecessary spacing here)

She prayed she hadn't sounded that clichéd with Diamond Tiara.

Oh poor poor naive little Silver. Let's no pony tell her that Diamond and her were MUCH more cliched.:twilightsheepish::unsuresweetie:

5943241 it was already mentioned that she did write to the CMC as well as Diamond. We just have only heard the details of her first letter to Diamond because her letters to the CMC are obviously not at this time important to the story.

In fact she is likely just talking about her day or important events in the last week. Such musings would be repetitive and boring to the reader, offering little to no substance to the overall plot.:twilightsheepish:

From outside, a firepony ran by making a siren cry.

okay this is a bit confusing. Earlier you mentioned in the cab ride to therapy Decimal got spooked by a "Police CAR" passing by with a siren (not a siren noise made by a pony). I have no problem with Automobiles in Equestria in fact I like the idea, but consistency is important.

Either emergency services (Police, fire, and ambulance) are delivered in pony drawn wagons or they have cars and trucks to make their services faster and more reliable. You just need to be consistent. :twilightsheepish:

It soon became apparent that Decimal wasn't the only autistic student at the school. As more students similar to him began to act up, some of the other students began to either snicker or ask what was wrong with them—in a less than polite way.

seriously is the entire school for special needs foals or just the class Silver Spoon and Decimal are in?

Lucky’s mane poofed back up. “Okay, because I think my garbage man is one. He kept looking through our trash, like he was looking for something.”

I am legitimately concerned about Lucky. What happens when she decides there is no longer a doubt that her garbage man is an alien and decides to take action? She already took a swing at Silver Spoon JUST for questioning her logic. That to me is a the very definition of a dangerous individual. She's a ticking time bomb and one of these days she's going to explode.:unsuresweetie:

“Dyslexia!”

(more unnecessary spacing)

They both stared at one another, silent. Then, Bright began to chuckle, and Silver Spoon grinned.

You know I forgot Silver Spoon had dyslexia. Now it makes sense. Silver Spoon is in a "special needs" class. That just leaves Babs. What's her hang up?:unsuresweetie:

She had just gotten to her parents’ divorce when the light bell range.

I'm guessing you mean lunch bell?

With that, Silver Spoon made her way back to her desk. Where all three of her friends—even Lukey—smirked at her

everypony (if you want)

"everypony (if you want)" why was that added?

This chapter really brought some memories back that I repressed. I got held back one year and I have been in and out of several "special needs" classes as a kid, all the way up to High School when my parents took me out and home schooled after my Freshman year.

I remember how awkward I felt among the other students who were obviously much less high functioning then I (thats putting it politely). i felt like there was something seriously wrong with me even though my disorders were not as severe.

Felt like a freak..

I can only imagine what Silver Spoon is going through. At least she was much more positive then I was about it.:applecry:

Lucky facehooved. “Oh no, Switch, the aliens messing with your mind again?”

She frowned and continued to stare at her empty dish. “Yeah, the aliens did it.”

isn't Switch a colt?

“Yes, mama,” Silver Spoon nodded, “we were just getting to the part about…” She squinted at the paper. “Las Vegas history.”

“Pegasus!” Switch snapped in a whisper. “Las, Pegasus, history.”

A few students chuckled at Silver Spoon’s slip up.

calling her teacher "mama" was that a symptom of her dyslexia, a snide remark, or a typo?:twilightoops:

and OMG cross-dimensional Dyslexic slip ups!:pinkiegasp::pinkiecrazy::pinkiehappy:

I always figured it was Los Pegasus, as in a parody of Los Angeles which is Spainish for "City of Angels" ironically enough.:twilightsheepish:

Taking the paper himself, switch read over it, and said, “Rock.”

If it weren't for Bab’s actions, that might have been all. However, in an intense, Silver Spoon had figure it all out. “No, no, no, no, no!” she moaned as she began to pace around. “Oh, why, why, why?”

are we supposed to know what Silver is thinking here? because if we are I completely missed it. All i can think is "Rock" is short for "Rock Cocaine" is that what we are supposed to think?

well anyway this story has effected me on a much more personal level then the previous story.

and I think the word you are looking for is "instance" or "instant" not intense.
