Not always. However I'm going to say it's probably because of the animals, enjoyment of entertainment that focuses on animals rather than humans seems to be a reoccurring theme.
@ganondorfchampin That's my theory as well. When I was a kid, I was obsessed with Lion King. I didn't really pay attention to anything else. I liked it speficaly because there were NO people.
@MrShowification I beg to differ, because one of my closest friends is a huge fan of Mario Bros. Heck I wouldn't be into either Mario as well as Sonic if it weren't for him! :)
@bobbybenjamin You know, I have Aspergers Syndrome, a form of Autisim and even I can't explain that! That is strange how most of us video game nerds have it though. ???
@MrShowification You're not really 23, are you? If that's the case, you missed out on when Sonic was huge, and actually good. But a lot of people here commenting like sonic and have autism, well because this is a video with sonic about autism, so that would make sense...
@treverpatey it's okay...but Sega doesn't put enough effort into making the games. I enjoyed Sonic Unleashed and might check out Colors, but the games could be much better. There's a reason sonic isn't as popular as he used to be.
@treverpatey sonic unleashed daytime and sonic generations are by far the best this gen has to offer when it comes to video games. some may not be tough enough for it but those who master those games know exactly what everyone else is missing out on.
Great video MegaSonic; but did you know that Jett Travolta was autistic. Jett Travolta(John Travolta and Kelly Preston's son) died from some kind of seizure. Maybe it was from the autism or something. Some people said he was deprived of medication.
"Of all the frictional resistance, the one that most retards human movement is ignorance, What Buddah called "The greatest evil in the world." The friction which results from ignorance can be reduced only by the spread of knowledge and... the unification of the hetrogeneous elements of humanity. No effort could be better spent." - Nicola Tesla 1919 (my feelings exactly on Autism and ignorant fools like Mr Savage.)
Dude,that was such a good video.I grew up living with Autism and I know how it was like.I went to a school full of kids with behavioral issues that made fun of me and made my life miserable.I also did alot of speech classes and alot of therapy which makes me the person I am today.I'm a proud supporter of Autism Awareness
Yeah, actualy, if you listened to Mr. Savage said, you would undersatnd. He really is too blunt with things but his point is true. 33-45% of autistic cases or misdiagnosed or created through overdurgging. Seriously, drug companies make drugs which give people "side effects" which makes them have to take other drugs. Soon a person goes looney and "oh, he must be autistic then!" It's true. It happens. There were doctors on Michael's awesome show the other week. Autism is overall a FRAUD!!
being to blunt is no excuse. If you believe autism overall is a fraud, no matter what the cause of it is, you are a fool. If drug companies are the cause, then it should be them to be bashed, not the families that have to deal with it. Maybe if Savage spoke like someone who can be trusted then someone could learn something. Also Autism develops in early childhood. Prior to the time when it is considered safe to give children drugs, and there is currently minimal links of vaccines to autism.
there are also doctors who are frauds, and doctors who have different view points. Instead of trusting in a radio show, meet someone with autism and read about autism. Then if you still say it is a fraud you are cold hearted.
Yeah books written by the Drs who are paid by the drug companies. GOOD! That'll get us somewhere. NOT! You have taken this whole thing out of context! You have not listened (and most have not) to the whole clip. You have cut out the preceding stuff. He talks about how drug companies are over and misdiagnosing and wanting to run pointless tests on 24 month old and younger children! THis is INSANE! Ad I have told someone with autism to cut it out! IT WORKED! I did what schools failed to do! TEACH!
i agree with MegaSonic. also autism can be genetic, and passed down through dna. i got my autism from both my grandfathers, and both my parents have autistic traits as well.
Hey, I am a huge Sonic fan and I have a mild form of autism.

To be honest, I found this video while researching autism. I'm surprised someone calls it fake.

Because I don't have autism and I know that Super Mario is 1,000,000x better than Sonic.
