the team reacting to reed “just discovered a new space phenomenon!!” happy stimming flappy hands

johnny: uhhhh he’s doing that thing again

ben: yeah, you got a PROBLEM with it??

johnny: no just—

sue: i love him. i love him i love him i love him

[dragonflyace]

Y'all think Pedro Pascal would give us the autistic Reed Richards we deserve?

Having a canonically autistic Reed Richards in the MCU would mean the world to me.

(For those of you who don't know the 616 Mr. Fantastic was made autistic in canon and the MCU is supposed to take place in the 616 universe).

Considering it's Marvel, I highly doubt it would happen, but it would honestly be a big stepping stone for autistic character rep if they could do it properly.

Was gonna write a big long post but I realised I was sounding really whiny so I deleted but I just wanna say. Being a Dr Doom fan and hating Reed Richards is one of the most nonsensical things I can imagine like. his one true equal is Reed. That's the whole point of their dynamic. Hi. Hello.

[cosmicgirlypop]

istg these movies arent talked about enough and they have my one of my fav autism reps (yes its reed)

say what you will about the early 2000s fantastic four movies but they made reed richards irresistibly autistic

[r0bee]

Been getting into Fantastic Four more lately and one of my favourite things about Reed as autistic rep is that yes he fits the autistic supergenius trope but he's always so genuinely excited and fascinated by science.

Like he interacts with it the way people interact with their special interests instead of it just being something he's automatically good at Because Autistic Savant. He loves talking about and studying science to the point it can get in the way of social things and focusing on what's happening around him. HE'S SO REAL REED RICHARDS YOU WILL ALWAYS BE FAMOUS TO ME!!!!!!

Round 2: Laios Touden vs Reed Richards

Propaganda is encouraged!

[do-u-know-this-autisticcharacter]

Do You Know This (Canon) Autistic Character?

He self-diagnoses as mildly autistic in the miniseries 1 2 3 4 - and problematically says he was working on a cure, but was "otherwise of sound mind."

[squids-comics]

Mr Fantastic's on the spectrum!! (He does say he's trying to invent a cure though so he's probably not the best representation)

Writer: What if we had a throwaway line that confirmed that Reed Richards was autistic, that would be a cool bit of representation and help change the stigma many people have of people who were autistic

Exec: I love the idea, then we could have him CURE that horrible disease so we can show how smart he is, you’re a genius

Writer: …

[tin-can-iron-man]

This has been said before but Reed Richards vs Doctor Doom is literally just, respectively, "I don't always recognize social cues and it makes me seem like a bigger jerk than I am sometimes :c" autistic vs "I have such a severe case of Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria if you so much as BREATH in my direction wrong I'm going to kill you in self defense" ADHD
