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.
Kicking off in 2008 with Iron Man, the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has been a cultural juggernaut ever since. With over a decade of movies behind them and nearly a dozen TV shows, Marvel has taken over pop culture. That all started with The Infinity Saga, a decade-long story running through Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, and ultimately The Avengers movies. It culminated in the blockbuster Avengers: Endgame. But Marvel wasn’t done there! With the kick-off of Phase 4 and 5, the MCU brought on a new roster of heroes… Shang-Chi, Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk, and many more.
