I’m sitting here crying. They showed a meltdown, even though it was a small one. Julia is so precious.

I’m seeing myself when I was 4. My mannerisms, my speech patterns. That could be me in Julia’s place and the scenes wouldn’t be changed at all.

I’m crying. It’s not sad crying.

I literally had a meltdown today exactly the same way she does. I was rocking and had my ears covered and was making the same noise she was.
I think I’ll join you in the not sad crying.

Same thing. I had a meltdown yesterday, because there was loud music at my library, and i reacted exactly the same.

The thing that i also really liked is that the guy said, before talking about Julia’s autism : “Julia likes people to know that she has autism”.

It means that they’re not outing her without her consent ! How rare is that ? I regret the person-first language, but damn, the rest is so good !

For real, this is almost exactly what my sensory meltdowns look like if the stimulus doesn’t last too long. Like, I’m actually seeing a girl like me on TV; a girl like my wife. I was so stunned. And cried. Bc of course I cried. Who wouldn’t after 37 years of no representation?

she happy flaps!!! i love her, she’s adorable!
