Autism Awareness Month!

New PBS Kids show features characters on autism spectrum!


CARL THE COLLECTOR premiered on WNIN PBS Kids last Fall. It follows Carl, a warm-hearted autistic raccoon who loves collecting things (pencils, buttons, twigs, string, and more). The show is the first PBS KIDS series to feature central characters on the autism spectrum. Carl’s attention to detail, distinctive way of looking at the world, and his extensive collections help him solve problems around Fuzzytown with his friends.
