Twyla my beloved, she was my favourite ghoul back in the day because I am autistic and I was autistic and I saw her and said "oh she's autistic" and I was right, she is and was autistic. Anyway, queen
She's wearing altered Bora Aksu, Minju Kim and then more Bora Aksu
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 :)
How is Twyla Boogeyman from the godamn Monster High reboot the best autistic rep I've ever seen. I love plenty of characters who are portrayed as neurodivergent but almost none of them are actually confirmed. Twyla plainly states that she's autistic in her first ever appearance. She's not portrayed as stupid or mean or ignorant but is instead one of the more quiet, kind, and perceptive characters. She was the only one to notice how stressed Lagoona was because she paid attention! She isn't one of those characters whose neurodivergence makes them super smart detectives or something. Instead, it makes her empathetic! Which is so much more accurate to my experience. And she's a girl! You never see that in media!
Anyways bottom line is: I literally love Twyla so much and want to cry (from joy) whenever she's on screen.
