Reed Richards: Aspirational Autistic Dad?
Though Reed Richards has never been neurotypical in the comics, in First Steps, he may represent the aspirational model of an autistic dad.
Marvel was founded in 1939, and originally called Timely Comics. Now owned by Disney, the publisher is the home of superheroes like Iron Man, Spider-Man, Captain America, The Hulk, and Thor. You can also find iconic villains like Thanos, The Red Skull, Loki, and many more inside the pages of Marvel’s books. The company is based in New York City.
