A musical journey: An autistic youth's musical dialogue with the world

Meet Xiaodai, a talented young man with autism who plays the ocarina, pan flute, melodica and many other instruments. Like many children on the spectrum, he faces challenges with language, social interactions and repetitive behaviors – but playing the ocarina became his bridge to the world. With support from his parents, playing music helps him rebuild confidence to connect to the "outside world."

His widely viewed video on social media not only raises awareness about autism but also brings hope to families with "children from the stars." Xiaodai's musical journey breaks stereotypes, offering a powerful glimpse into the possibilities and diversity within the autism community.
