Sesame Street's Newest Muppet Has Autism: Meet Julia



quote:

Big Bird: Oh, hi Julia. I’m Big Bird. Nice to meet you. Oh. Julia?

But Big Bird is confused when Julia doesn’t respond.

Abby: Julia, you’re so creative!

Julia: [laughs and flaps]

Julia also presumably really, really likes trains.

You'd have to be really autistic to have a problem with this.

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.

Would an autistic child really be drawn to such a character, or should it just have been Thomas the Tank Engine with the serial numbers filed off?

Rumor is Big Bird will come out as a transexual some time this year.

They're just as likely to fixate on anything else in the show. It's still a good thing though, if only to educate typical kids about autism.
