Julia
Julia is a bright and curious four-year-old girl who has autism.
Birthday: January 24
Julia is a bright and curious four-year-old girl who has autism. She loves to play with her friends on Sesame Street; she’s great at “I Spy” and even invented a special game: Boing Boing Tag!
Julia’s autism means that she does things a little differently than some people. Her good friend, Abby Cadabby, says she does things in “a Julia sort of way.” Julia enjoys playing on the computer, going to the playground, and dancing and singing along (loudly!) to almost any type of music. She lives with her mom and dad, her older brother Samuel, and their beloved pet dog, Rose.
