Who is Andrew's favorite superhero and why do they admire them?

My son‘s favorite superhero is Spider-Man, but when he first started out, he related more to flash due to his autism. He always felt like his mind was speeding through life.


Where did Andrew's love of superheroes come from?

When my son was born, he had his first seizure at one years old when that happened. It prolonged his speaking so the only way he could tell us what he wanted or what he liked was through his superhero toys he created his own names for them. Batman was Nani. Spider-Man was dasi Superman. Well, I can’t spell the name he had for Superman. I don’t even think it’s a word.


What superpower would Andrew want and why?

I’ve asked my son this question once before what superpower would he want from any superhero and his answer was different than most it was one that helped other people with different disabilities for accepted one that kids with autism kids with any learning disability would relate to we already got some superheroes where they have to choose their power over their loved ones. We have ones who lost family because of their superpower. He just wants everyone to feel accepted, loved and approved
