The Mupperezmo
"The Mupp was created to help the world know and to understand that everyone with autism thinks, feels and sees things from a very different point of view. That is why he turns his head upside down - so that he can look and see things from a different point of view!
But, not to worry ... The Mupperezmo is sure for everyone! We all see and feel and look at things from a different point of view, and it's always very important to be kind!" Love, DJ :)

DJ speaks about the "journey" started with his mom, where it has taken him, the amazing people he's met and the milestones he's accomplished, the biggest being The Friends of Imagiville!
Using his unique artistic style, DJ has brought the characters to life, and use them to tell an informative and inspiring story of inlcusion and acceptance.
