Derpy reminisces about her family, her life and her quirks. She has a nice home, a wonderful husband, a perfect daughter. On the other hoof, she has weird eyes, which also makes her clumsy, and she can't go anywhere with her family without hearing the whispers about how she can't really love them. Let us venture into the cute little head of one Derpy Hooves. Oneshot.
This was an amazing story. I have multiple disabilities as well, Autism, depression, anxiety, ADD, and although it's not a 'true disability' I have a wandering eye much like derpy. (But nowhere near as severe, only unfortunate as it only happens when I'm not focusing on something in particular, like during the family picture. ) You really captured a terrible unspoken stigma in life. The fact that so many people would not consider me fit to be a father or just in a relationship is disturbing. It's almost like a good portion of nuerotypicals believe that it would be a crime against nature for me to have a spouse or child. I'm glad that you show derpy in such a loving family that doesn't treat her any differently. Sorry about the wall of text. You earned a like, fave, a follow, and a fan.
5312460 Thanks new friend. I think I might have a kind of autism, but I'm not sure. I was diagnosed, but then I lost the paper it was on, but I think there was an A in it. I'm also ADD, which, as a writer, is synonymous with headache. I'm so happy to hear this has such an impact on you, it's wonderful to know I can make stuff that do that. Keep strong, my friend, and good luck!
My interpretation of Derpy is that she actually a very smart pony with only a minor learning condition like dyslexia. I also prefer to call her Ditzy Doo with Derpy being her nickname. Still, I love your story.
I agree with you
Yay!

I really liked this story, I would love to see more!!!!
Great story! Very sweet.
I think you meant "foals" and "foalhood".
Have a great evening, thanks for the story.
