Interpretation: MLP characters: different sides of aspergers

Interpretation of MLP: 3 of the characters in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (the 1st season is the best) each have aspergers, and each fits a different aspergers type.
There are six main characters in MLP, two earth ponies, two pegasi and two unicorns. In my interpretation, one pony from each type is an aspie.

Fluttershy is extremely shy and prefers the company of animals to people. Pinkie Pie is very very sociable, and very very weird. Does not follow social conventions at all. Twilight Sparkle is antisocial, obsessed with being the perfect student. Actually, every character is obsessed with their own particular area of interest.
 
I don't think fictional characters are meant to represent disorders, since being exaggerated is part of the appeal in kids' shows in the first place. Who's going to want to watch Doctor Who if The Doctor was a perfectly normal man or Friendship is Magic if they were all just like real little girls? I do sometimes see myself in them, though.
