Daniel: Hi Neighbor!
It's me, Daniel Tiger.
I just got to school.
Come inside!
Teacher Harriet: Come on over for Circle Time!
Daniel: Circle time!
O The Owl: I'll sit here, hoo hoo!
Prince Wednesday: Yeah, here!
Daniel: Look! Someone new
is sitting next to Teacher Harriet.
I wonder who it is?
Teacher Harriet: Class, I want you to meet Max.
Max is my nephew, which means I'm his aunt!
Prince Wednesday: You're an aunt?
Teacher Harriet: Yes! I'm a teacher and an aunt!
Max is visiting me,
so I wanted him to meet all of you.
Kids: (talking and chattering)
Teacher Harriet: You know what, class?
That's too loud for Max.
It's okay Max.
I know what might help.
Prince Wednesday, could you bring me that blanket?
Prince Wednesday: Sure!
Whoa!
Why is this blanket so heavy?
Teacher Harriet: Sometimes, Max likes a heavy blanket,
like this.
It makes him feel like he's getting a nice cozy hug.
Daniel: But why does Max need it?
Are you cold?
Katerina Kittycat: Are you sleepy, meow meow?
Teacher Harriet: No. Max is autistic,
which means that some things about him
are different than you.
Like the way he calms down.
Now that you're feeling calmer, Max,
ready to show them our book?
Max: That's my book!
Teacher Harriet: I've told Max about each of you
and we made this book together called
"Max Visits School."
Let's read it together,
so you can learn more about him.
Max is a new friend.
He is visiting school today.
He's going to meet new friends.
Max: Daniel Tiger,
O The Owl,
Katerina Kittycat,
Prince Wednesday,
Jodi Platypus,
Miss Elaina.
Kids: Wow! Hey! That's me!
Teacher Harriet: Max needs quiet voices.
Loud sounds bother his ears.
Miss Elaina: Well, we're not being too loud!
Teacher Harriet: Everyone is different.
Something that might sound okay to you,
might be too loud for Max.
♪ When a friend needs different things than you, ♪
♪ there are some things you can do. ♪
Miss Elaina: What can we do?
Teacher Harriet: If you see Max cover his ears, it means
it's a little too loud for him.
And you can move back
to give him some more space,
and talk in a soft voice.
Right Max?
Let's keep reading.
Max likes to have his own space.
He needs time before he's ready to play with new friends.
Max likes to share the things he's interested in
like buses...
and bugs!
Max: Bugs!
That's a roly-poly bug!
Roly-poly bugs roll up into a ball
when they feel scared.
Daniel: Really?
I saw a roly-poly bug one time!
Max, where are you going?
Miss Elaina: Can he come back?
I want Max to tell us more about bugs.
Prince Wednesday: Me too!
Teacher Harriet: Max needs time to get comfortable
in our classroom.
I'm going to let Max look out the window
while we finish up Circle Time.
Max and his new friends have a great day at school.
The end.
And now, it's Choice Time.
Daniel: Tigertastic! O: Let's play, Hoo hoo!
Katerina/Jody: ...Choice Time!
Daniel: Where's Max?
I want to play with him.
Ooh, Max is in the Block Corner.
Maybe we can build together!
Hi Max!
Can I play with you?
I know.
We can build something tall!
A castle!
♪ (playful music) ♪
Max? Do you want to help me build a castle?
Do you want to play with me, Max?
Why isn't Max answering me?
Teacher Harriet: Well, Daniel.
Sometimes he needs more time to understand the question
and decide how to answer.
Let's give him some time.
Max: I like buses.
I like city buses
and school buses
and double-decker buses.
Daniel: Oh! I like playing buses too!
But, I'm not playing buses now,
I'm building a castle!
My castle is right there.
I made a pointy roof. See?
Max: Double-decker bus.
I like to sit on the top.
Daniel: Why does Max keep talking about buses?
I want him to play castle with me!
Teacher Harriet: Sometimes when Max is
really excited about something,
he only wants to talk about that one thing.
Daniel: Oh, but...
if Max just wants to talk about buses,
does that mean he can't play with me?
I really want to play with him.

Well, I like building,

So, maybe instead of building a castle,
I could build a bus station!
Teacher Harriet: Give it a try!
Daniel: Here's where all the buses can come in.
More blocks!

Would you like to come to our tea party, meow meow?
O The Owl: We're going to have tea and snacks, Hoo hoo.
Daniel: Sure, I'll come!
Katerina: Oh, goody.
Come on, meow meow!
Daniel: Wait! You forgot to invite Max.
Katerina: Oh, I thought Max only wants to play buses?
But, maybe he wants to play tea party too.
Hi Max.
We're having a tea party...
and we want you to come!
O The Owl: You can come later.
Or now. Or later.
Hoo hoo!
Daniel: I'll wait for you ok, Max?
I like playing buses with you.

Daniel: A new clock?

You can give your bus clock to my dad,

Max: My clock.
Dad Tiger: Well, that's okay.
It doesn't look like Max wants his clock
hung up on the wall, Daniel.
Daniel: But...why not?
Teacher Harriet: Sometimes when Max is trying something new,
he needs to take more time
until he feels comfortable.
Something we can do is let him hold onto his clock,
until he decides he's ready to hang it up.
Dad Tiger: Take as much time as you need, Max.
Ok!
Is everybody ready for Chime Time?
Kids: Yay! I am!
Teacher Harriet: Oop, here are your headphones, Max.
Miss Elaina: Ooh!
Can I have a turn with the headphones too?
Teacher Harriet: No, we can't take turns with these.
Max needs them in case
Chime Time is too loud for him.
They make things quieter.
Elaina: But the loud sounds are what make Chime Time
so so so fun!
