A blind and autistic 10-year-old boy sings. Everyone was stunned by his voice. Christopher Duffley is a ten-year-old blind autistic boy with an incredible voice. He demonstrates that just because someone has a different appearance does not imply that he is any less capable.
Christopher Duffley was given a microphone when he was four years old. Despite the fact that his speech, social interaction, and cognitive abilities were classified as “significantly delayed,” he began to sing and thus began a journey that inspired audiences all over the world.
He was singing the national anthem in Fenway Park at the age of 10 and a YouTube sensation by the age of 11. Christopher unconsciously began to inspire millions of people from all walks of life. Chris taught us his entire life, in every song and speech, that we are limitless… we just need a little reminder.
Christopher weighed 1 pound 12 ounces at birth due to drug exposure. He was placed with a foster family after five months in the ICU. His biological aunt discovered him, transported him to New Hampshire, and adopted him into her family of six. A new life awaited him, and his problems with total blindness and severe delays would shape it.
