芝麻街布偶如何改变自闭症患者的世界

芝麻街的第一个自闭症布偶朱莉娅并没有多说话.

但在她搬到芝麻街一年后,她的包容和理解的信息正在大声而清晰地传达.

克里马格罗看到了差异。当现年30岁的Magro在2岁时被诊断患有自闭症时,流行文化中唯一的自闭症写照就是Dustin Hoffman在“雨人”中的角色。

“这令人沮丧,因为每个人都认为我在数学上会很棒,”Magro告诉TODAY Parents。 “多亏像Julia这样的人物,我们正在扩大自闭症的教育。”

自闭症意识月:芝麻街如何为自闭症儿童带来改变

朱莉娅最初是芝麻街“看到所有孩子的惊人”倡议中的一个角色,旨在促进儿童及其成年人的融入。她从数字芝麻世界跳进了真实,诚实至善的芝麻街,与Elmo,Big Bird以及所有其他人一起出去玩,因为芝麻高管们看到她的角色有多么积极的影响.

“我们听到父母说他们的孩子(患有自闭症)有更多的游戏日期,其他人看着朱莉娅。我们从老师那里听说,在与朱莉娅一起观看细分后,他们的教室更具包容性,“芝麻街非营利组织芝麻工作全球影响与慈善事业执行副总裁谢里威斯汀说。.

威斯汀告诉TODAY.com,一位母亲使用数字化的“我们是惊人的1-2-3”故事书,以朱莉娅向她的女儿解释她像朱莉娅一样患有自闭症。在故事结束时,母亲说,她的女儿问:“所以我也很棒,对吧?”

作为家长,威斯汀说,“这正是你所希望的。”

在朱莉娅介绍芝麻街广播后,一项全国调查发现,美国有一半的成年人听说过朱莉娅。由乔治敦大学医学中心和儿童国家卫生系统进行的另一项研究,研究了“看到惊人的”数字计划,发现超过50%的没有自闭症儿童的父母在探索网站后感到更多接受自闭症儿童.

这很重要,因为对自闭症儿童的欺凌是一个严重的问题,许多儿童家长表示,来自更大社区的孤立和判断是他们最难处理的事情之一.

“我们不仅要提高儿童的意识,还要提高成年人的意识,”威斯汀说。 “因为朱莉娅说话的人数,他们谈论过自闭症……这是巨大的,这就是重点。”

随着朱莉娅作为公众面孔,芝麻工作继续其数字化努力与“看到惊人的所有儿童”网站和活动,其中包括儿童的视频和书籍以及父母和教育工作者的资源。芝麻推出了首个Kickstarter活动,旨在筹集资金(因为它是一个非盈利组织),以制作一本关于自闭症的新的反欺凌书。在竞选活动还剩21天时,他们筹集了45,000美元,目标是75,000美元.

今天父母与芝麻街合作制作了一个视频,探讨了一些关于自闭症的常见问题。我们转向我们自己社区中有自闭症孩子的父母–Ronnie Koenig,Carrie Cariello和Eileen Shaklee – 以及Kerry Magro,他在博客上分享了自闭症患者的经历。他们根据自己的自闭症经历分享了朱莉娅,艾伦和艾尔莫的问题.

柯尼希有一个患有自闭症的6岁女儿,她喜欢芝麻街,并说当朱莉娅的角色被介绍时,她很激动。 “朱莉娅非常喜欢我的伊芙琳,”柯尼希说.

由Alan Muraoka扮演的艾伦的角色经常帮助表演中的孩子年龄的木偶了解朱莉娅的自闭症 – 例如,他向大鸟解释说朱莉娅希望与他成为朋友,即使她没有目光接触或总是回应当他说你好。 Elmo,作为芝麻街永久的3岁半,与Julia形成了一种特殊的关系,以及神经型儿童的模型,他们如何在游戏中将儿童纳入自闭症谱系.

“很酷的是每个人都有点不同,但同时也是如此,”Elmo在今日家长视频中说道。 “Elmo和Julia都有很多共同点。我们在一起渡过很多快乐时光!”

    Julia, the first autistic puppet on Sesame Street, did not speak much at first. But after a year of living on Sesame Street, her message of acceptance and understanding is being conveyed loudly and clearly. When Krima Gregore was diagnosed with autism at the age of two, the only portrayal of autism in popular culture was Dustin Hoffmans character in “Rain Man”. “It was frustrating because everyone thought I would be great at math,” Magro told TODAY Parents. “Thanks to characters like Julia, we are expanding autism education.” Julia was initially part of Sesame Streets “See Amazing in All Children” initiative, aimed at promoting inclusion for children and their adults. She jumped from the digital Sesame world into the real, honest-to-goodness Sesame Street, playing with Elmo, Big Bird, and everyone else because Sesame executives saw how positively her character was impacting. “We hear from parents that their children (with autism) have more playdates, that others are looking at Julia. We hear from teachers that after watching segments with Julia, their classrooms are more inclusive,” said Sherrie Westin, executive vice president of Sesame Workshop Global Impact and Philanthropy, a non-profit organization. Westin told TODAY.com that a mother used the digital “Were Amazing, 1,2,3” storybook to explain to her daughter, who also has autism like Julia, about her condition. At the end of the story, the mother said her daughter asked, “So Im amazing too, right?” As a parent, Westin said, “Thats exactly what you hope for.” After Julia was introduced on Sesame Street broadcasts, a national survey found that half of all American adults had heard of Julia. Another study, conducted by the Georgetown University Medical Center and the National Institutes of Health, looked at the “See Amazing in All Children” digital program and found that more than 50% of parents without autistic children felt more accepting of autistic children after exploring the website. This is important because bullying of autistic children is a serious problem, and many parents of children with autism say that isolation and judgment from the larger community is one of the hardest things they have to deal with. “We not only need to raise awareness among children, but also among adults,” Westin said. “Because the
