Can you tell me how to get, how to get to.......... Be treated like a human being?

1 lying PIP Assessor!
2, 2 ha ha ha ha
2 lying PIP Assessors!
I could go on but my imaginary friend Snuffy told me I was over doing it.
I think it's great about the new Autistic Sesame Street Muppet.
What concerns me is whether they are going to address the good, informative work done with past characters?
For instance, Burt and Ernies obvious Homosexuality has for years been dealt with in an age appropriate way, Cookie Monsters eating disorder has been highlighted and discussing the issue of Oscars homelessness and his obvious case of Mental Ilness from the years he's spent living in a dust bin has been very valuable.
