Day 12

Silver the Hedgehog is a young, optimistic character driven by a strong sense of justice to travel through time and save the future. Despite being serious and determined, he is somewhat naïve, socially awkward, and blunt. Silver is kind-hearted, brave, and selfless, willing to risk himself for others and driven by hope for peace and happiness. He can be reckless and overly focused on his mission, sometimes resorting to violence when misunderstood. Fans speculate he might be autistic due to his…

• Literal thinking – Silver can come across as very literal or overly focused on his mission (especially in Sonic '06).

• Social awkwardness – He sometimes struggles with social cues, which fans interpret as signs of neurodivergence.

• Strong sense of justice – He tends to be very morally driven and rigid about right and wrong, a trait some people on the autism spectrum relate to.

• Unique communication style – His speech (and interaction style) is sometimes described as stiff or unusual, which fans interpret as potentially autistic-coded.

It's important to know that this interpretation is not officially confirmed by Sega or Sonic Team… yet; it's purely speculation and part of fan interpretation.
