All around us, there is such a group of children.
In the film and people's imagination, they are geniuses who are good at mathematics, art, and music, living in their own unique and mysterious world.
In fact, they are reluctant to communicate with people, always fall into a state of severe loneliness, turn a blind eye to the things around them, lack of normal people's emotional responses, accompanied by different degrees of language barriers. They are also known as the "Children of the Stars".
Only a small percentage of autism has abnormal performance in mathematics, music, memory, etc., and most children with autism do not have these abilities.

What is autism?

Surveys show that poverty levels, unemployment rates, uncarried, immigration and single-parent families all affect the incidence of autism.
