Could somebody help me with it, please!
They found a boy, who didn't speak, but he could express himself by playing the piano.
or as my teacher proposed:
who doesn't speak, but can express himself...
The boy is still alive, and he still doesn't speak. The article was written in 2005.
Thank you!

If you are doing a resume of an article, the tense should follow that of the article, even if it is an old one.
