I know quite a few people with autism and it seems the majority of them are Sonic fans. I once went on an Autism Awareness walk and found a team with Sonic characters all over their shirts. I've also come across many observations that show that a good chunk of the Sonic fanbase is autistic. Others claim the autistic fans are the reason that the "weird" side of the fanbase (consisting of furries, fan-characters, and other crass sexual content) is so weird. All of these claims and observations got me curious.
It's not just Sonic, either. The internet also tends to associate things like Roblox, My Little Pony, and sometimes even Yoshi to autism. However, I've seen it the most with Sonic.
My question is: What is it about the Sonic franchise that appeals specifically to people on the autism spectrum?
NOTICE: I'm not saying all Sonic fans are autistic, nor am I saying everyone with autism is a Sonic fan.
