ESE LEE Family Council

Shoutout to PBS for standing in the gap, and fostering an invaluable representation to an often overlooked community. There has to be a paradigm shift in our in regards to and this is an amazing stepping stone towards that change.

PBS Kids has a history of ensuring authentic inclusion in its series. Its newest show Carl the Collector not only continues this pattern but elevates it. The 2D animated series, aimed at 4-to-8-year-olds, features Carl, a warm-hearted autistic raccoon who enjoys collecting things, and his woodland creature friends including Lotta, a quiet and self-assured fox who is also autistic. The show benefits from a production team that includes a variety of neurodiverse writers, production staff, animators, advisors, and voice talent.
