Sesame Street Introduces Muppet with Autism
《芝麻街》引入自閉癥木偶
Sesame Street is welcoming a new character named Julia, the first muppet with autism. Creators of the popular television series hope Julia's character will help young children understand and become more accepting of a variety of social behaviours associated with autism. They also hope Julia will help kids with autism feel more comfortable in their own skin. In the US, approximately 1 in 68 children is on the autism spectrum. Julia's puppeteer has a son with autism and is thrilled that Sesame Street has decided to add this character to its show. Julia has already appeared in some Sesame Street storybooks, but she will make her TV debut this April.
《芝麻街》歡迎新角色茱莉亞的加入，她是第一個患有自閉癥的木偶。這部流行電視劇的創作人希望茱莉亞這個角色能夠幫助孩子們理解并更好地接受與自閉癥相關的各種社會行為。他們也希望茱莉亞能夠幫助患有自閉癥的孩子更適應自己原本的樣子。在美國，每68個孩子中就有一個患有自閉癥。茱莉亞的傀儡師有一個患自閉癥的兒子，《芝麻街》引入茱莉亞這個人物的決定讓他很開心。茱莉亞已經在《芝麻街》的一些故事書中出現過，不過今年四月，她將首次登上電視熒幕。
