On April 10, Sesame Street introduced audiences to Julia, a sweet and curious 4-year-old with autism.

Julia is a new addition to the cast and part of Sesame Street and Autism: See Amazing in All Children, a nationwide initiative aimed at communities with children ages 2 to 5. Developed with input from parents, people who serve the autism community, and people with autism, See Amazing in All Children offers families ways to manage common challenges, to simplify everyday activities, and to grow connections and support from family, friends, and community.

Join the conversation online and share your story using hashtag #SeeAmazing.
