Elmo And Julia From "Sesame Street" Helps Heal Writer's Childhood Wounds Around Autism

Salon writer Matthew Rozsa visits the set of "Sesame Street" to talk to Elmo and Julia, the show's first-ever Muppet with autism, about what it's like being a muppet with autism. Rozsa reveals his own childhood experiences with autism and bullying, which he says might have been less severe if a character like Julia had existed on TV in the 1990s.
