Keith Duffy has opened up about the painful struggle to get his daughter Mia correctly diagnosed with autism after being put on a two-and-a-half-year waiting list.
The former Boyzone star spoke to Cat Deeley on ITV’s Lorraine today about the long battle he and his wife Lisa endured to get Mia’s diagnosis.
He explained that the couple knew that something was wrong and had their daughter undergo multiple tests before they suspected she might be on the spectrum but were told that the waiting list for an autism diagnosis was two and half years long.
The singer shared: “We didn t know what was going on, like most parents, we thought she might have had a hearing problem. We got a hearing test done and that was fine. It takes you a while to kind of figure out what’s going on and we knew nothing at the time about autism. We hadn’t got a clue what we were even looking for.
