As someone with ADHD, sonic is perhaps the perfect character to give ADHD and portray it positively. Sonic can be impatient, have difficulty sticking on one topic for so long, and always feel the need to be moving, but none of those detract from him being a hero. None of those make him any worse than his friends. And I think that's great. Even if Sonic doesn't canonically have ADHD, I still feel he's a great representation for ADHD, and a really positive one
EEEEEE DID YOU PLAY THE GAMES>!!??! Personally i recomend you play sonic generations, sonic colors, the old genesis games, just not 06. i dont like the princess.
@@Devilspadeno its a sonic , very pg-13, no fucking involved (Tho anyways, I'm p sure the comment was just about how he goes from all mostly high pitched only to go deep because he's so upset)
Sonic has ADHD. I have a teacher who has ADHD and can get off topic very easily. I sometimes wonder how a certain conversation spawned from a simple talk about respect lol. Edit: WHAT HAPPENED IN THE REPLIES!?
No he doesn’t? It’s literally stated he has low patients and likes to run that’s why he moves a lot. It has no correlation to ADHD you need to learn more about sonic..
@@areo6182 it's a harmless headcanon. i have adhd and sonic was my comfort character throughout my childhood and could never explain why. since i realized some of his characteristics aligned with my symptoms, i got a better understanding. it just makes people happy
@@Thepiratecat303 maybe YOU need to learn about it, not everything adhd is 'one thing and the other!! oh wait what was i talking about 🤓', or him being bored or just something stupid like that, i have symptoms of adhd and its suspected that I have it, and this definitely just ain't it
This pretty much describes ADHD in a nutshell. You go from one topic to another to another to another. Also it can be hard to focus, And keep interest in the topic at hand. But once you find a topic we're interested in, We tend to hyperfocus. Just like sonic. He could totally beat them at bowling lol. Also I too have ADHD.
@[•Mailer•] don't be scared, ADHD has its upside too. People with ADHD tend to be very creative, and are able to think outside the box when problem solving.
@[•Mailer•] well it could also mean you're a deep thinker. But it's nothing to be afraid of, even if you do have it. You've been living with it all this time, it's just something new you're learning about yourself. It just means you see things differently than most people do. You're a creative thinker.
@metal crush Lies. While the games he's in may not be the best, his actual performance itself is amazing. Differance between the actual delivery and the script itself being bad.
As much as I love that, I'm sorry to say he's not raptor-arming. He's just resting his hands on the device's handle and the one tall light (Sorry to ruin the fun) Sonic generally doesn't do raptor-arm akin activity because his character's personality is too loose and flowy for an awkward arm-stuff like that. (As someone with Autism who has _years_ of experience with ADHD people, and was raised on Sonic media, I firmly believe Sonic is ADHD-Coded, whether intentionally or not.) Furthermore I think Sonic was accidentally ADHD-Coded, but they never cared to change it because they felt it'd be implicitly neat to do so. (Like how Nintendo accidentally made Luigi _heavily_ autistic because they wanted him to be a "Weirder and more awkward Mario", and ended up giving him the most common cluster of Autism symptoms because, well, _we_ can be a little weird or awkward because of it.)
As someone with ADHD I believe he most certainly has ADHD symptoms but I don't believe he actually has it I think it might just be because he's so used to going so fast that he's too used to everything happening at his speed that anything too slow is painful That's not to say he can't
Still... he has like certain weird quirks that are similar to ND people. 1.-hates physical affection, specially unexpectedly 2.-obsessed with certain food, only eats that (chilli dogs) 3.-can appear like a moron sometimes due to impulsivity
@@berserker3414 frankly I posted that 4 months ago and changed my mind since then but fr it could go either way Might be one way for some versions and the other for other versions But good points
everyone saying "every character does not have to have a mental illness" or "he does not have ADHD" I have something to say, some people can have headcannons, and it is possible that he does not have ADHD, but that does not mean nobody can headcannon him having ADHD!, thanks for reading, cya!
Very well said @Squibbu! The wonders of making videos is it showcases a person's creativity so no matter the technicalities, this video is amazingly funny!!! Meant to be just that...funny ❤
The movie sonic is also great. Also ngl I think all the vas are amazing for sonic but I feel like Roger Craig Smith did the best in terms of voicing the adhd coding that he has. Like as someone with adhd I can say the way he talks is really accurate to me. Sometimes he talks too fast and goes really off track and sometimes you can also tell that his character is really into a certain thing, especially in boom. He also kinda seems immature which yes is probably just an aspect of his personality but I also feel at least for me I’m a similar way bc of my lack of understanding to social cues and what’s considered mature for my age
As someone who does not have ADHD but sometimes feels and acts like it, this is accurate. (I just get extremely hyper sometimes and forget what i was talking about and impatient, u get it)
Its not only just him moving fast its how he doesn’t like to slow down for anything ot take time doing things he isnt interested in! People with adhd often have trouble just sitting down and relaxing or focusing on things they don’t find interesting!
@@Thepiratecat303 Yeah Sonic has never been the type of person to pay attention to some plan, surprised him and Tails cooperate a lot, they are best buds though.
Sonic having ADHD works well, but I also think he could have ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder). Better yet, maybe he was born with both since Autism and ADHD often coincide (yeah, its true).
Yup can confirm the two overlap! :D Though from my own experience I'd say yes to Sonic having ADHD but I'm not so sure about autism. He doesn't really seem to struggle when it comes to interacting with others or understanding what they want etc.
@@ArtzyZeroagree with your statement, however I have a headcanon that kind of proves both. On the Autism Spectrum half of Sonic, he used to be silent at times when he was younger, making this a callback to why Classic Sonic (I.E, his younger self) never had a voice actor. I think it indicates Social Anxiety as it is common for people with ASD to experience extreme anxiety in social situations. Another sign is that he tends to have Restrictied and/or Rpetitive Behaviors. Whenever he grows impatient, he always has a habit of tapping his shoes and sometimes lays down. Also, tue reason why Green Hill is overused is probably due to Sonic personally being attached to it as it is the place where he started his first adventure and that leaving it for a long long time could be different and strange for him much like how living in a new place or state could be odd for a person on the Spectrum (I used to say that he can be picky about a new resting spot besides Green Hill, as long as it's a Green Hill themed place, but that might make no sense because of his adventurous background :P). Also, Loud Sounds are soemthing he doesn't like, but only out of annoyance and not fear (if an alarm goes off at Eggman's bases, he would make a "omg stfu plz" face). And finally, Unusual Sleep Habits that are formulated into nightmares about his fear of water or on a personal note, loosing his friends. My version of Sonic (who has both ASD and ADHD which I'll get to next) sometimes worries about the loss of his friends as he now knows what life can be like without them and that he's at a point where he starts to view them as family. As Sonic worries about this, he's always reassured by pals that they will be okay whenever he's around, reminding him that he's a hero and that he's always good at stopping the worst that's yet to come. Now for ADHD. Based on what I saw from the video. He tends to go off topic, a lot. However, this doesn't mean he doesn't care about saving the world, but rather making it more fun and positive. This could be why Meta Era Sonic is not serious at times because Sonic himself is using that coping mechanism, kind of like Prime Sonic (although I agree with most fans that its not always about his funny side and that SEGA should get in the habit of showing his serious side to make it 50/50, kind of like how they did Sonic's character in Sonic Prime). Also, the foot tapping thing I said earlier could also be a sign of ADHD as it could be another way of him losing focus besides his humor. Also, he's fast as always, not only is his speed a genetic mutation (oh look, another headcanon thing!) but the way it can be unleashed is how he gets up frequently to walk or run around. That's all I have for the ADHD part. I'm on the Autism Spectrum myself which could explain why my version of Sonic has it, but ADHD also blends well with him too. Feel free to give me more comparisons between his character and ADHD
As someone with combined-type ADHD, this strikes me as someone who only knows what it’s like from a surface level. Then again, neurodiversity of any kind is on a spectrum, and my experience isn’t universal. Also it’s typically different in girls than boys.
My little brother ( born with Autism and ADHD along with Asperger's syndrome ) has always love since he was little He even consider Sonic as his friend and comfort character along with Elsa and Jaden Yuki from Yu-Gi-Oh GX ( Which I think is nice cause i have few comfort characters myself ^^ anyway ) Which It makes me happy cause I'm also born with autism and schizophrenia ( and ADHD ) I have enjoy seeing my little bro being a big fan of sonic So thank you for making this video for fun and laughs Take your time and take care of yourself if you make a part two of this Much love 💙🏃♀️
Same here. I'm 57 and Sonic is also my comfort character. I've got the trifecta: ADHD, non verbal learning disability and ADHD. Of all the movies I've ever seen (thousands) books I've read, etc. no character has ever portrayed what it's like to be alone and neurodivergent better than Movie Sonic in the first movie.
@@penelopepadmore3248 That is what my brother says He watches that movie on repeat and even told my mom and grandmother that sonic in first movie is just like him which they agreed. Personally me, I am into anime and video games but I see myself a lot like Deku and Denki (MHA) and Sailor Moon. As for non verbal learning disabilities reminds I don't have but rather I am introvert talkative ( I do talk but most times out in public I don't socialize unless it's a question or compliment) It kinda reminds me of Komi from Komi Can't Communicate which is cute anime and funny slice of life if you want to check it out
These are actually accurate to the title, I'm actually kind of convinced that sonic has adhd now. Other videos saying "(character) being (insert anything here)" are usually just taking jokes or out of context clips, it seems like they're trying to get you to believe what the title says and it usually never works but this is different, it shows sonic getting distracted easily and getting side-tracked, which pretty much proves the point in the title. Good job for actually convincing me
There's an entire like 20 years of shows that add to this energy. We need to make a Mega Compilation lol Heck add Sonia and Manic, I'm sure it runs in the family-
If you show some of these symptoms, it doesn’t mean you have adhd. If you think you do, I recommend getting tested by your doctor! If you have trouble completing simple tasks or it starts effecting how you preform at school, I HIGHLY recommend contacting a doctor!!💜
@@Thepiratecat303 aw, ty! I don’t think it affects me like crazy but if I sit still for too long and I’m not stimulated I get the worst anxiety response
@@starsmashmations4969 I recommend contacting your doctor to see if you could get a possible test! It could very well be just anxiety (Anxiety is a symptom of adhd but obviously doesn’t mean adhd!) Anxiety is something that can be helped once you get a diagnosis! Such as medicine or getting therapy! The only thing that can help lessen the effects of adhd is medication, so if it gets to a point where it’s almost IMPOSSIBLE for you to focus without getting side tracked or daydreaming I recommend contacting your doctor!! Good luck with whatever you do, and keep your chin up high!💜

Personally me, I am into anime and video games but I see myself a lot like Deku and Denki (MHA) and Sailor Moon.
As for non verbal learning disabilities reminds I don't have but rather I am introvert talkative ( I do talk but most times out in public I don't socialize unless it's a question or compliment)
It kinda reminds me of Komi from Komi Can't Communicate which is cute anime and funny slice of life
if you want to check it out

That other lock down voice was also Roger.
HES SO ME.. THE IMPATIENTNESS.. THE GETTING BORED EASILY.. THE SILLINESS.. SO REAL.
As someone with adhd and possible Asperger’s syndrome, this is relatable
as someone with Adhd, i relate to one clip of this.
I'm dying cause when he sat down in the lock in, it was perfect timing when I started counting down from three
Sonic being highly suspected to have ADHD might explain why I got super attached to him when I was little... (I was diagnosed with ADHD)
He's the ADHD king and it's not just because he runs fast
As a person who has ADHD, i can confirm than this is 100% accurate.
Anyone with speed powers is adhd, I will not elaborate
No Need to elaborate because you’re right
I love 0:25 seconds so much lol
1:12 is one of my favorite quotes from the show
Yeah same jhgfiuzgfdf
Agreed lol
Sonic having ADHD makes so much sense
This is now my new headcannon
as someone with ADHD this guy is me in the form of a blue rodent
Everybody else: "Hehe, Sonic has ADHD"
Me: "Knuckles looks like he has the McDonalds logo on his forehead" 1:14
Funny how literally ALL fictional characters I ever loved has ADHD (so do I) is both concerning and funny at the same tim-
OOOH MOM GOT ICE CREAM!
Sonic may be the fastest thing alive, but his brain is faster.
As someone with ADHD, this is way to relatable
ADHD child here, I can now confirm, Sonic is officially the definition of ✨ADHD✨
WHAT EPISODE WAS 0:38 FROMMM HES SO CUTE
He is too precious!❤
I think it was something like "Robots from the sky part 2"
THIS hedgehog is turning YOUR kids NEURODIVERGENT
Nothing is better than bored Sonic
Ryan: pure ADHD
Jason: on medication
Roger: coming off meds
Funny the fact that tails is always there
These are actually accurate to the title, I'm actually kind of convinced that sonic has adhd now. Other videos saying "(character) being (insert anything here)" are usually just taking jokes or out of context clips, it seems like they're trying to get you to believe what the title says and it usually never works but this is different, it shows sonic getting distracted easily and getting side-tracked, which pretty much proves the point in the title. Good job for actually convincing me
Sonic is like a kids version of Archer
sonic and tails are THE main example of an adhd and autism duo
When I say I relate to Sonic, I actually mean THIS
sonic and tails are adhd and autism besties
his here is the one thing Boom Sonic and modern Sonic have in common. and why I relate to both.
As someone with ADHD... I love this video 😂
I love the ROTW art style, Tyson Hesse really outdid himself!
Finally someone I can relate
Adhd sonic is a mood
ADHD really do be "gotta go fast" the medical condition.
if sonic isn't the mascot of adhd i don't know what is
There's an entire like 20 years of shows that add to this energy. We need to make a Mega Compilation lol
Heck add Sonia and Manic, I'm sure it runs in the family-
0:07 sonic looks so cute for some reason 😭
Why is this so relateable?!
yo stop making me wonder if I have all these conditions😭
If you show some of these symptoms, it doesn’t mean you have adhd. If you think you do, I recommend getting tested by your doctor! If you have trouble completing simple tasks or it starts effecting how you preform at school, I HIGHLY recommend contacting a doctor!!💜
@@Thepiratecat303 aw, ty! I don’t think it affects me like crazy but if I sit still for too long and I’m not stimulated I get the worst anxiety response
@@starsmashmations4969 I recommend contacting your doctor to see if you could get a possible test! It could very well be just anxiety (Anxiety is a symptom of adhd but obviously doesn’t mean adhd!) Anxiety is something that can be helped once you get a diagnosis! Such as medicine or getting therapy! The only thing that can help lessen the effects of adhd is medication, so if it gets to a point where it’s almost IMPOSSIBLE for you to focus without getting side tracked or daydreaming I recommend contacting your doctor!! Good luck with whatever you do, and keep your chin up high!💜
As an ADHD person, i can confirm this is what ADHD is like
Bruh I can relate to 1:12
As a person with adhd I don’t KNOW if I’ve been this because brain sed yeet
He’s always had it LOL 😭 makes sense I love him sm, him and my friends have ADHD! I’m basically the Amy of my friend group! 🩷
