Colorful, friendly ponies.
Autists like shows aimed for children for their easy-to-follow plot and clear-cut relationships. Shows aimed for little girls are doubly-so in innocence.

People with autism are usually deprived a sufficient socialization in their development. For one reason or another they are less desirable socially and can be seen to consistently be deprived the experiences and interactions that would naturally administer Seratonin and Oxytocyn, which are essential neuro-chemicals toward maintaining a healthy disposition. These chemicals - Oxytocyn in particular - are readily adminstered both during the social interactions that naturally cause them and by witnessing interactions among those interactions with others. Simply, if you see people being familial, helpful, or otherwise bonding, then you get a spike in Oxytocyn.
MLP is rife with colorful (lit. and fig.) examples of just the sorts of dynamics which would produce plenty of Seratonin and Oxytocyn, while being not abysmal in its aesthetics. Participation in/around the fandom allows a person to do so with individuals who likewise have a less-comprehensive socialization.

Because MLP is made in such a way that everyone, not just kids can enjoy it. The show is filled with adult jokes, the punch being "spiked" immediately springs to mind, and fluttershy covering herself up. As well as references to popular culture, both in the background and foreground, such as; "winter is coming everypony", Pinkie's Bat signal, the Futurama pony, Kratos from God Of War, the Dragonball Z style laser battle between Tirek and Twilight, TRON, Slenderman, Weird Al. There are loads more, but those are the more well known ones.
These are things that little girls obviously aren't going to pick up on, as they are more geared towards teens and adults, which make the show more enjoyable for us, autism or not. Plus the show is written in such a way that adults can enjoy it too, the whole point of this is to be able to watch it with your kids.

Your retort/demand stands in contrast to the topic of the thread. Additionally, it suggests that autists are the only demographic that experiences undesirable consequences in their developmental years.
Tl;dr Not an argument

Right. Pull the other one.
