Introducing ...
The Mupperezmo
The Leader and Mascot of The Imagifriends, and Mayor of Imagiville

“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
