When words fall short, art speaks.

For children with autism who struggle to communicate verbally, brushes and pigments become their language – a way to express emotions that words cannot capture. Guided by teachers and parents, they find healing through creation, producing artworks of remarkable imagination.

In this episode of Health Talk, CGTN visits an exhibition in central China's Hunan Province showcasing hundreds of paintings by autistic children, known as children of the stars in China. We speak with Liu Chenlei, the exhibition organizer and mother of an autistic son, who shares how painting helps these children connect with the world around them – and how building a care center for children like her son became part of her own journey towards healing.
