Julia from Sesame Street is a character designed to increase awareness and understanding of autism among children. Here are some follow-up questions that could facilitate your classroom discussion:
- When Julia didn’t answer Big Bird the first time, what helped her understand?
- What did we learn when Julia didn’t want to give Big Bird a high-five?
- Did you notice Julia sometimes repeated things others said? /Why does Julia flap her hands and bounce up and down?
- Why did Julia cover her ears when no one else did?
- What helped Julia calm down?
- How can we be good friends to someone like Julia?
