Autism is no barrier for this Chinese boy as he discovers his talents in both painting and music. Meet Zhu Jingxiu, better known as Xiaoxiu, who was diagnosed with autism when he was 3 years old. With love and support from his family, the now 12-year-old boy uses paintings and music as tools to communicate and express his feelings with others. Children diagnosed with autism are romantically known as "children from the stars" in China, as they may lack social skills, and prefer solitude.
