The Wider Image: “Music is their language”: school gives autistic

Zu Wenbao, 23, rides on a bus going to a practice session with his band Star Kids, who like him are all adults with autism spectrum disorder, at the music studio of 38-year-old teacher Chen Shensi, in Beijing, China September 11, 2022. Zu is one of the 14 million people in China who have autism spectrum disorder, a developmental disability caused by differences in the brain. Despite laws to ensure the integration of people with autism, many in China know little about the disorder and support remains lacking, experts say. REUTERS/Tingshu Wang
