Sesame Street has a new, autistic character - and she's busy breaking down barriers.
Julia is the first muppet of her kind on the show and part of a new initiative Sesame Street and Autism: See Amazing in All Children
The concept includes a free app with storybooks, video and song.
"Families with autistic children tend to gravitate toward digital content, which is why we created Julia digitally," executive vice president of global impacts and philanthropy, Sherrie Westin, told People.
"We want parents and children to understand that autism isn't an uncomfortable topic."
