Episode 28: JAKE JETPULSE! Unleash your superpower.

We spoke to Led Bradshaw, illustrator of Jake Jetpulse and creator of Jetpulse comics.

Led Bradshaw created a comic book series based on the characters and stories from the imagination of his autistic son, Jake.

What makes the characters in "The Adventures of Jake Jetpulse™" so interesting? unlike typical books for kids about autism, Jetpulse Studios focuses on the three hallmarks of autism — deficits in social communication, adherence to routines, and difficulty with reading others — and divides them into the three main characters.

This makes a story that neurotypical, or non-autistic, children can read over and over. This approach to the characters can open new doors by which they could tell stories using relatable scenarios that are common to individuals on the autism spectrum.
