Sonic and his animal buddies are all drawn with extremely exaggerated expressions. If you're the kind of person who has trouble picking up on non-verbal communication such as eye-contact and facial expressions, then the fact that Sonic has huge eyes and amplified emotions might make him easier to identify with than other people.

Just a wild guess.

This is indeed it. It's the same reason why so many autistic kids love the hell out of Thomas the Tank Engine.

EDIT: That combined with the fact that when you're ten, Sonic comes across as the coolest loving thing in the world.
