Twyla + Stimming With Her Bracelet

[ID: Gifs from Monster High (2022) episode Creepover Party.

The camera pans up as Twyla comes out of her shadow form. She's holding onto her bracelet.

Twyla sighs in preparation and grasps her bracelet for comfort.

Twyla stims, squeezing the beads on her bracelet, as Draculaura pops up and talks to her.

Twyla points something out, then gives in to her anxiety and doubt and goes quiet, dropping her hand back down and instead holding her bracelet.

As Frankie, Draculaura, and Clawdeen are in the background planning how to stop the bookworm, Twyla is in the foreground, sitting and stimming with her bracelet. Then books are thrown loudly and Twyla flinches and covers her ears.

Twyla is in her shadow form, sitting with her hands in her lap, and stimming with her bracelet. The scene's brightness is turned up to better make it out. End ID]

in monster high gen 3, twyla is not only autistic coded, but DIRECTLY SAYS "i'm autistic"

which is such a huge step in representation, especially in kids tv. i love all of the diversity that they're putting into this new generation and it's going to be so good for kids to grow up on and hopefully feel less alone in the world

(additionally i'm also just so excited about this anyway because monster high was my special interest as a kid and so to have a canonically autistic character for the new generation is exciting)

EDIT: also just wanted to let y'all know the voice actor for twyla (kayla cromer) is also autistic :)

"i am twyla and you... are loud"

(twyla ramble under cut!)

when i heard g3 twyla was autistic something like,,, healed my undiagnosed autistic monster high loving inner child. she's honestly the best rep i've seen,,, period. love that she is unapologetic in asking for her needs 2 be accommodated. she's what got me back into monster high and why i'm such a big g3 fan! ☆

Today's Canonically Autistic Character is: Twyla Boogeyman from Monster High

When I was younger I had a temporary monster high obsession, but I couldn't get the dolls. Now I hear that their doing a reboot and I'm going down memory lane. My fave is Twyla 👻

Close up!

I also managed to get my hands on a 2nd hand doll to finally fulfill my childhood dream of doing a doll repaint!! I used glow in the dark paint for her eyes, but it's really hard to take a pic (but it works!). De-glued her hair and all that too. I am planning on curling her hair, but I still don't have curlers. One day I'll get to it....... maybe.......

Drew her again hehe so excited for the 8th. Edited my design a little because I kind of like some elements of the canon design. Here’s the first one with the odango buns and the full dress 💕

i already tweeted this clip but!! this line from twyla genuinely made me tear up while watching. this is so important that she can healthily communicate her boundaries and have the other ghouls understand and accommodate her without questions.

as an autistic person, i often feel really guilty trying to tell my friends when i need to be away from them and have my own alone time, especially since i cant do a lot of things around them (like draw, or work on assignments, or watch certain media i like) just because i need to do it myself. even though i know they’ll understand, i always feel bad saying it anyways, so often i just don’t, and trudge through it myself. its so important to show kids that sometimes their friends will need to tell them these things, and that its okay and healthy !!!

This post is dedicated to my beloved autistic girl who is afraid of loud noise and loves to be in the shadows.
