This year has brought many changes to society, not only in the economical and political aspect but also in education and the social life. One of the populations most affected by this pandemic has been children. For adult people, understanding this type of situation is a bit easier, but how can you explain to a child that they cannot go out because if we do that we can get sick? At this stage of development, social interaction is a fundamental part of the learning process, therefore measures have been sought to ensure their continuity. This article represents one of them, the teaching of the reality that we are living through cartoons for children with autism that represent a population that requires a lot of attention and accompaniment. The work they did is simply beautiful and shows how much human beings can do to improve the society in which we live.

This is an interesting read. Sesame Street was one of the first shows to bring on a character who is diagnosed with Autism. Throughout all of this COVID crazziness this show has not only knocked down the wall of stereotypes but it helps kids with autism deal with the issue of mask wearing during covid.
