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

Teacher Chen Shensi, 38, talks with Zu Wenbao, 23, during a practice session with members of Zu’s band Star Kids, who like him are all adults with autism spectrum disorder, at Chen’s music studio in Beijing, China September 11, 2022. Zu, who is non-verbal, started learning music free of charge at Chen’s Studio, which started lessons for people with autism just as the pandemic began. He has since learned to play the keyboard, and sings along with the four other members of the Star Kids band their teacher, Chen, set up last year for people with autism.  REUTERS/Tingshu Wang
