As part of their Sesame Street and Autism: See Amazing in All Children, the PBS show has introduced their puppet friend. Her name is Julia, she has orange hair, and she has autism.

Sesame Street has never shied away from tackling difficult topics to talk to children about, and they continue to do so with this wonderful new character.
