In Episode 4715 of Sesame Street, the main storyline revolves around Big Bird meeting Julia, a young girl with autism, and learning how to understand and appreciate her unique qualities. The episode begins with Big Bird finding his friends painting in the yard, including Julia, whom he has not met before. When Big Bird greets Julia, she doesn't respond, as she is deeply focused on her artwork. Alan explains that Julia has autism, which means she may act or do things differently.
Big Bird suggests playing tag, and Julia responds positively, flapping and bouncing. Abby points out that Julia is like a rubber ball, and they all start bouncing while playing tag, a new way Big Bird has never played before, but they all enjoy it. Suddenly, a siren goes off nearby, causing Julia to panic. Big Bird accidentally upsets her further when he tags her, but Alan takes her away to calm down using belly breathing techniques. Big Bird learns that it's not his fault and that Julia will be okay.
As the episode progresses, Big Bird confides in his friends that he has never met anyone like Julia. They remind him that he has friends of all different types, and Julia is no different. She rejoins the group, and they all sing about being friends and start a new game of tag.
