Sesame Street and Autism: See Amazing in All Children

Sesame Street and Autism: Seeing Amazing in All Children is a Sesame Workshop initiative aimed to reduce "the stigma of autism." Launched in October 2015, the initiative includes a free downloadable app that incorporates videos, digital story cards, and storybook materials.

The initiative introduced Julia, an illustrated friend of Elmo and Abby who has autism. In the initiative's digital storybooks, Julia shows what having autism is like from the perspective of a child with autism.

The initiative also debuted a music video for "The Amazing Song," and song written for the program, and several exclusive Muppet & Kid Moments featuring Elmo, Abby and Grover.

Researches worked for three years developing the initiative.
