All About Julia, the First Muppet with Autism

Julia’s adorable personality has won the hearts of millions of children and adults alike. The program hopes to continue having Julia as part of the main crew, and Gordon hopes that her character will eventually stand on her own and not just the Muppet with autism. With the help of her adorable singsong voice and kind nature, Julia will help children realize that kids with autism are friends too.
