Brooklyn, 3, has a severe form of autism meaning he struggles to communicate. His parents Ryan and Chelsea had been told there was a chance he might never speak.

However, one day he joined in with his musician father, who was singing along to Ed Sheeran's 'Sing'.

Chelsea told 5 live Daily's Chris Warburton that hearing her child's voice for the first time, against the odds was magical: "Something had clicked, and from that day on he's continued to sing," she said.

The family now use music and singing to aid Brooklyn's development, while dad Ryan is releasing a charity single to raise money for F.A.C.T (Families of Autistic Children Together).
