What makes Sonic so interconnected with autism?
I used to play it with my friends back in middle school and they went from relatively normal people to freaks, including me.
autists are predisposed to self-insert as cocky, "cool" characters, no wonder most of them love sonic and gangsta rappers

How do we explain bronies then?
>Simple designs that can easily be made with a template
>Characters all have simple and easy to understand personalities "the easygoing one" "the tough one" "the smart one" etc.

from my observations the ones with lower mental age tend to prefer the colorful / easygoing / always happy characters, the more functional ones (e.g. same mental and physical age) tend to emulate the "tough", "cool" or "edgy" characters
sonic is literally the austist kryptonite, he has the visuals of a cartoon character and a 2cool4school personality
I think it has to do with the Adventure games trying to have a relatively serious plot (in regards to being in a game about a talking blue hedgehog).
Its something kids might think is cool, but the typical person will come to realize how dumb and silly it is. Autists eat that shit up though.

how is that any different from comics though
normies eat that shit up as well as autists

Because the most vocal sonic fans are ones who openly shout about their autism.

Cute characters.

Does playing Sonic trigger autism or is it a sort of magnet for preexisting autism

Partly because of Chris-Chan (autism is everywhere, he just brought it into the mainstream for Soinc), partly because 'gotta go fast' appeals to those with weak attention spans, and partly because the characters are humanoids (easy to self-insert but completely unrealistic, a.k.a good for escapism).
