China's first autistic children's orchestra held a special concert

When she was 5 years old, BeiBei was diagnosed with severe childhood autism at the Nanjing Children's Mental Health Research Center, he would use his limbs to make exaggerated movements or make strange noises, Sun Lili and her husband sought medical treatment for many years, and even moved from Hangzhou to Shenzhen.

At the age of 20, Babe accidentally touched the electronic keyboard and began to learn, and the changing gears turned again - he could sit on a stool and practice the piano for two or three hours, took the piano level 10 in 5 years, even got a part-time job, and on the last Sunday of each month, he played the piano in the lobby of the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Shenzhen.

Today is "World Autism Day", and The Philharmonic Orchestra, the first autistic children's orchestra in China where Babe works, is holding a special concert. Bei Bei can play the piano, can draw, swim very well; Han Han likes to say hello when he sees people, carefully observe the other party and then express praise, is a small diplomat in the orchestra; Tim keyboard kung fu is very good, the plasticity is particularly strong; Dai Feng is an auditory child, and also likes to play with his mother...

Autism, also known as autism, the cause of the disease is still a mystery, he is not a psychological problem, nor is it caused by intellectual disability, of course, it does not mean genius, but a spectrum disorder disease.

People with autism, although they can speak, do not know how to express their emotional feelings with expressions and body language. They are in this world, but they are far away from this world; they "know" this world, but they are strange as in the sky, so in China, people describe autistic people as "children from the stars" because they seem to have a different way of thinking, flickering in the sky, as if they came from a distant planet.

Although they are a little bit special, a little bit different, they are all trying, including their parents, their families are trying to make these children as adapted to this society as much as possible, to integrate into this society.

It is hoped that more people in society will know and understand this group, know their existence, understand their uniqueness, respect their differences, and live with dignity in an inclusive, understanding and well-meaning social environment.
