First off,
I would like to say right now that I have NOTHING against the autistic kids of the world.
Actually If I had the money, I would donate to a Mental Parity foundation so Autistic and other kids alike could get the financial equality that insurance companies don't offer if it's a mental/psychological disorder. (Insurance companies will NOT insure anything for someone who has a mental disorder. I think that is not right and it is not helping the families who need to be able to pay for SUPER expensive medicines.)


Now then.
Sonic fans across the world come in all sorts.
But it seems especially apparent that there are alot of Autistic ones out there.
If this is true, and it might not be cuz there is no survey or anything for this, than that means Sonic has done a good deed to the world once again, in a special... unique kind of way.

Autistic kids need something to latch onto, a role model if you will.
Sonic's quick personality and lovable character fits the bill perfect for this, which why it is no surprise that alot of them would choose him as their role model.

and yet, the "Normal" people bash the games and snub their noses at it like it's a crime that Sonic in general is a horrible thing.

I think in all honesty, that Sonic is helping those who need it and is indeed a great role model for those who have been hit with any form of Autism.

So next time you want to Bash Sonic once again for any reason,
think of the unique kids who might be keeping him going, along with all of us as well.

Sonic lives forever in the hearts of the fans & those who are truly worthy of the title Sonic Fan

Whether or not it's true he's 'a heroic rolemodel' for autistic people, the Sonic we know now IS a prime candidate for bashing, and that's just the way it is. People are going to love him, people are going to hate him. It's the same with everything. :/

I just don't enjoy his new games. Is that wrong?

Fact: He's being bashed for a reason. SEGA really didn't bring out the best in their hero, but I'm not going to lay my opinion out about it for the billionth time. If they'd have done better, we wouldn't be bashing him, and that's my two cents :)

I have HEARING AIDs. OWWWW.

I have a condition called Asperger's Syndrome, which is one of the many flavours of autism, and I still bash Sonic for his current terrible games and the piss-poor direction of the franchise. Of course I can imagine that part of my original attraction to the blue guy as a kid was due to what you're talking about, and I've seen a loooot of self-admitted autistic types on these Internets who are big-time Sonikku fans, but I hardly think that means he doesn't deserve criticism.

That's also assuming that all autistic people are nice, I've met some downright mean people that were both Sonic fans and had Asperger's/Autism.

I honestly don't mind the guy, I think Sonic's a generally cool character, it's not the character's fault the games suck.

I haven't ever seen a connection between autism and the Sonic fandom, though. Interesting though, I'm gonna have to start looking. Casually, of course.

Retard can be a very offensive word and should not be used in such a manner :P

and anything can be a good thing if you look at it in a positive light :)

I think what Loor meant to convey that you can almost always find the good in even the worst/silliest of subjects.

I have Asperger's Syndrome myself; I was diagnosed about 10-12 years ago, and I had already been a Sonic fan for several years beforehand. I am also a huge critic of the frankly terrible Sonic games made in the last five or so years and hate the direction the franchise has gone, but that's another story.

It may well have been that some of what you say rings true, but considering the number of different franchises I jumped between when I was a kid, it may just be a big coincidence.
