The excellent piece of artwork features a chimpanzee wearing headphones.

The thoughtful reason behind the choice of image, as relayed by The Sun, comes from the fact Aiden suffers from autism and often wears headphones to help him deal with everyday life.

The teenager’s dad spoke openly about his son’s condition in his autobiography ‘Scholes: My Story’.

Lovely gesture.
