In Autism Awareness month, ‘Mundo Bita Imagine-se’ introduced Léo, the new autistic character in the group, but there is much more to see in children’s productions that promote diversity and inclusion
In Autism Awareness Month, Max welcomed a new character: Léo, an 8-year-old autistic boy, who becomes part of Lila, Dan and Tito’s gang in ‘Mundo Bita Imagine-se’.
The character made his debut in the final episode of the 2nd season of the animation. In the story, he shows how nothing stops him from playing with his friends while everyone welcomes him with open arms and is ready to learn how to make him comfortable to have fun.
In addition to Léo, Max brings together other characters in its children’s animations that bring references and representation for all ages, such as Luca, from ‘MONICA’S GANG’and Bebê Ondas from ‘MINI BEAT POWER ROCKERS’.
