Autism Awareness

Though autism can be reliably diagnosed in children as young as 18 months, most aren’t diagnosed until they’re between four and five—and studies indicate that age is even higher for low-income and minority children.

Early diagnosis and treatment can translate into a lifetime of impact by supporting improved communication, healthy development, and overall healthy outcomes later in life. Our bilingual campaign featuring Julia, the four-year-old Sesame Street Muppet with autism, shows viewers that the more her family and friends understand her world, the brighter she shines.
