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

Zu Wenbao, 23, plays the keyboard during a practice session with his band Star Kids, who like him are all adults with autism spectrum disorder, at a music studio belonging to 38-year-old teacher Chen Shensi in Beijing, China July 31, 2022. “Without music, without these lessons, he wouldn’t have anything,” said Zu’s mother, Zhao Guorong, who travels with her son every Sunday for two hours on three different buses to Beijing so that he can attend class.
