60 Minutes offered a preview of Julia on Sunday’s episode when correspondent Lesley Stahl visited the Sesame Street set while Julia’s first episode was being filmed.
Julia will make three appearances during the current season of Sesame Street and her role will expand as the show continues.
Young viewers and their families will soon meet a Sesame Street Muppet who’s a little different than the ones they already know when the long-running children’s show introduces Julia, who has autism.
“It’s tricky because autism is not one thing, because it is different for every single person who has autism,” Ferraro said.
