James Williams is a My Little Pony fan with autism.

He was diagnosed with autism at the age of 3, in 1991. Today, he hosts panels on autism awareness at various autism and anime cons, and has hosted autism awareness panels at Midwest Fur Fest and Ponyville Ciderfest. He has also staffed and/or volunteered at anime cons since 2012.

He’s also an accomplished recorderist who has performed recorder adaptations of music from My Little Pony and other fandoms at various types of cons since 2013. He believes that the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic TV series contains many references to the unique life experiences of people with disabilities that can be used to teach awareness of varying disabilities.
