As it seems the people in office are doing everything they can to discourage the power of diversity, good news comes from Sesame Street. Meet Julia, a girl with autism.
Sherrie Westin,
executive vice president of Global Impact and Philanthropy at Sesame
Workshop, says of Julia. “It will help kids with autism be able
to identify with a character and it will also play an important role in
destigmatizing autism."
Julia’s puppeteer is a 38-year-old woman named Stacey Gordon, who has a 13-year-old son on the autism spectrum.
