The Sesame Workshop team wants to help families who navigate the world of special needs, and the people who love them. "I love being Julia's brother," Sam told Romper. “She might not respond right away, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t want to,” he explained. In fact, Sam wants other kids to know that it might take a little longer to get to know Julia, but it’s worth the wait. Julia, being only 4 and a little shy around a new person, didn’t say too, too much, but she did share that her favorite thing to do is “painting!” and that she really loves her big brother. “Whenever I need some cheering up, Julia is there to help.” “She’s really good at helping me and our mom and dad, and she’s my best friend,” Sam said. “Julia is my superhero,” Sam told us as we stood across the way from Hooper's store. They do know that they’re good buddies who like to do art projects together and play with their family dog, Rose, and Fluffster, Julia’s stuffed bunny. Of course, Sam and Julia are just a couple of regular kids who have no idea they’ve got a weekly audience of millions.

At just 4 years old, Julia, who is a yellow Muppet with fire-engine red hair and a smile so sweet it leaves you boneless, is Sesame Street’s first resident with autism, and we were invited to their ‘hood to learn more about new free videos and resources for families available starting April 2 through Sesame Workshop’s autism awareness initiative, See Amazing in All Children. There, two of Sesame Street’s friendly residents, Julia and her big brother Sam, joined Romper for a hang on the stoop. Just a few weeks ago, in what feels now like another universe, Romper paid a visit to a place where the air is sweet and the days are sunny.
