A mother of an autistic boy has established a "homeland" for the kids with the condition to help them return to normal life in Yinchuan, Ningxia Hui autonomous region.
Zhao Weihua, 49, created the Starlight Autism Rehabilitation Training Center in 2005, after years of searching for ways to help her son, Zhou Jiakai, who was born in 2000.
As the boy grew, his mother found him unable to focus and sit still. He didn't speak and rarely participated in activities with other children. Worried, she took him to the doctor. He was diagnosed with autism in 2003.
