Liu Changle  Jiangsu car wash gives adults with autism drive to succeed

By Li Lei in Huaian

In a bright, spacious workshop filled with the gentle hum of water pumps and the rhythmic swish of brushes, Liu Changle guides a foam sponge in careful, deliberate arcs across a car door. Around him, other young men and women dry vehicles, or welcome customers with practiced smiles. Emblazoned on the back of each of their vests is the name of this special enterprise: Star Youth Car Wash.

This is no ordinary car wash. It is the heart of a pioneering social project in Huaian, Jiangsu province, where young adults with autism — often affectionately called "Star Youth" or "Children of the Stars" — are not just learning skills, but building futures.
