SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Lawrence Wang used to hate the shrill sounds of the flute. He'd clamp his hands over his ears to drown out his sister's piano playing. During music lessons, he'd fidget and fight with his teacher.
On Saturday, though, he tapped his feet while blowing happily on his saxophone, a member of an unusual band of special-needs performers.
Those who love Wang and his peers are thrilled to see how music calms their autistic nerves and becomes a unifying force in a world where they often don't easily fit.
