“The Mupperezmo was the first Imagifriend I ever drew. He Was Created to Help The World to 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 see Things from a Different Point of View!

But The Mupperezmo is sure for Everyone. We all See and Feel and Look at Things from a Very Different Point of View, And It is Always Very Important to be Kind." :)  Love, DJ

Public Speaking and Art

A simple goal: Awareness, Acceptance, and Inclusion.

DJ started his public speaking career with his mom, Cindi, over 14 years ago! After his initial diagnosis at the tender age of 3, DJ has proved everyone wrong, and become a symbol of hope, perserverance and determination.

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.
