After working with a variety of experts and organizations on what autistic characteristics to display in their newest muppet, “The Muppets” producers have agreed to introduce Julia to the show. Julia appeared previously in 2015 in a “Muppets” book, but is just now being featured on the show. Her autistic signs include sensitivity to noise, social anxiety, and high energy. 1 in 68 children show signs of autism. Hats off to “The Muppets” for attempting to educate their young viewers on autism awareness!
