Liu Hanyang, 25, and Peng Jingrui, 23, work as bakers at the bakery since June 2023. In addition to making bread and snacks with their teacher, they can also work as cashiers and deliverymen. This Tuesday marks the 17th World Autism Awareness Day. In south China's Shenzhen, some autistic youth, who were called "children of the stars," have integrated into society and are chasing their dreams.
Over recent years, autistic children in China have gained increasing attention and care. In 2022, China's National Health Commission released a trial protocol on autism screening and intervention services for children under the age of six to improve related services. The country has also released a work plan for improving special education for the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-2025). (Xinhua/Mao Siqian)
