The orange-haired girl with twinkling eyes sometimes does things differently, “in a Julia sort of way”, but Elmo and Abby help the other kids on Sesame Street understand that even if Julia doesn’t look you in the eye, it doesn’t mean that she doesn’t want to be your friend. Simply by making Julia “part of the gang,” she is already having a big impact, helping to teach children and families all about acceptance. Julia highlights that while the differences between children with autism and their peers may seem significant, all children have something far more important: unique qualities and talents that make the world a more interesting place! Say “hello” to Julia at Sesame Place and take photos with her at Photos with Elmo & Friends.

One of the highlights of the Halloween celebration is the Neighborhood Street Party Halloween Parade. The entire parade takes on a not-too-spooky-feel from candy corn in Cookie Monster’s cookie jar to Bert and Ernie dressed as a rubber duckie and a pigeon for Halloween. The last parade stop features “spooktacular” music and performances by the Sesame Street characters and is not to be missed. Guests can also enjoy Ernie’s Rubber Duckie Costume Party - a non-stop, fun-filled time, where everyone’s invited to dance their day away. Moving lights and fun, upbeat music will make you feel as if you’ve arrived at a Sesame-styled disco.

  • 10 Tips to Help Young Adults with Autism Transition Into the Workforce Linda Mastroianni
    www.autism-mi.org email: [email protected] Autism Society of Michigan 2178 Commons Pky Okemos, MI 48864 517-882-2800 10 Tips to Help Young Adults with Autism Transition into the Workforce Linda Mastroianni For many young adults, the transition from school to employment is often a frightening and intimidating one. Leaving the familiarity of routine behind and beginning a new journey into the unknown is difficult for anyone. For young adults with autism, this experience can be even more terrifying. They face many different challenges than that of their neuro-typical peers. Entering into the workforce is a milestone in one's life; a rite of passage that is often identified as the beginning of their journey into adulthood. But for so many young adults with autism, this transition can be the most difficult and stressful time in their lives. Some reports state that an estimated 500,000 people with autism will enter into the workplace over the next ten years. With so many young adults looking for employment and without sufficient and sustainable job opportunities for them, we are looking at a high percentage of unemployment rates for autistic individuals. In addition to job creation, we must also help prepare them for the moment when they are ready for employment as well as supporting them through the transitional process. Winter 2015 2 Many have excellent job skills that can easily be applied to a number of organizations but first we must find what they enjoy doing, their strengths, their abilities and finding a viable employment environment where they can apply their skills and thrive while doing so.
