A couple of days ago, and only close family and friends of Thomas McAuley's knew of his special gift with music - now people from across the world have watched him come alive on the keyboard.
The teenager, from North Belfast, has autism and ADHD, but has never let his diagnoses hold him back, teaching himself how to play. He recently performed onstage at Féile's dance night, with the video attracting over half a million views online from people across the world.
On Monday, the 17-year-old was presented with an outstanding talent award at Springvale, where Thomas attends. He closed the ceremony with a rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody on the keyboard, bringing tears to the eyes of those in attendance.
