“Sesame Street” debuted a new character today, a four-year-old girl named Julia. And she’s on the autism spectrum.
What does this have to do with schizophrenia? Well, there are people who have comorbid schizophrenia and are on the autism spectrum.
It’s been a long time coming, but let’s hope Julia paves the way for all children to come to the realization that while we’re all different we’re all the same.
