Does the dodge bonus of +6 from the spell Superhuman Speed apply when a Juicer or crazy or
Man at Arms with Hand To Hand: Commando uses their automatic Dodge?

The bonus is to Dodge, not auto-dodge.

I'd agree with this. I only apply bonuses to autododge when the book explicitly says so. It's inherent that autododge is much more difficult than a simple dodge - by denying extraneous bonuses, it keeps it a difficult move.
