>>97746> I had to delete some paragraphs to make it not give me "wrong password error".The only hypothesis the person gave was that sonic had flashy colors, which appeals to autistic people. He again, didn't have any evidence that video games with flashy colors are more appealing to autistic people than allistic people than. Sonic also isn't the only game with flashy colors, so it should be the case that any popular game with flashy colors would have a large autistic fandom if we take this as the sole explainaition.
His other two explainations explained different things than the supposed link between sonic and autism. The explaination about special interests explains why autistic people who like sonic would be more likely to talk about it online, but not why autistic people are drawn to it. The third explaination gives a reason for why autistic people like video games, but not why they like sonic.
I feel like sonic has more autistic fans than other video games, but I don't have any evidence for that at all, so I'm not going to make a 10 minute video about the link without establishing it exists. If the video was called "the reason why sonic might have more autistic fans than other fandoms" then it would be slightly better, but over all, the explainations weren't sonic specific so his video dosen't explain much.
