Singer and actor Keith Duffy has thanked God for the “mini-miracle” that is his daughter Mia.
The 15-year-old daughter of the Boyzone star was diagnosed with autism when she was 18 months old.
However, Mr Duffy has spoken out about the “unbelievable” progression his daughter has made after she received “amazing” Junior Certificate results last week.
“The progression that she has made is unbelievable. We thank the Lord for it to be honest,” Mr Duffy told RTÉ radio.
“I have to stress not every child progresses like that. Every child is different. We consider ourselves very lucky,” he said.
