This is another wonderful Sesame Street book on Autism. they are exceptional books on how to treat children who are a little different. They are all three about Julia, her family and Elmo.. It shows how others friends should treat her and how she can have friends. Julia's dad told Elmo that she does things a little differently because she has autism. He told him a few things to do if she stops talking or puts her hands over her ears. Julia's friendship is worth a few differences. Everyone has differences.
Julia and Elmo have played together since she was small. Elmo likes to build brick towers and Emily likes to build in rows. Elmo likes to play with cars and Julia likes to play with the wheels. They like to play a lot of things together.
I found this book on a website for free for an honest review.

About the author
It’s a good book, but...
This was the first of a few books I got for my nieces, so they can better understand their autistic brother. I like how at the start of the book, we see how Julia and Elmo both like to play with their toys (also showing there is no right or wrong way to play). Then Abby comes along in the story, and is introduced to Julia. Now Abby was told early on that Julia is Autistic, and she’s quick to accept that, which even now is rare in real life. Now all that said, I do have a few issues: First, the person-first language (i.e. “muppet with autism”, “Julia has autism”), even though most autistic people prefer identity-first language (i.e. “autistic muppet”, “Julia is autistic”). PFL makes autism sound like an illness, when in reality, it is simply an atypical wiring of the human brain that can be disabling, which IFL acknowledges. Second, this story is never told from Julia’s POV. Only Elmo’s. Sure, most kids who read this book might not be autistic, but what about the ones who are? Wouldn’t it be better to write a story about autism from an autistic character’s point-of-view? I’m sure we’ll see another book about autism, from Julia’s perspective, somewhere down the line. But aside from that, this is a decent book!
