The father of a VCE student who was told he’d never attend a mainstream school has fought back tears of happiness on 3AW after his son blitzed his results.

Ross rang in on Thursday to share his son’s story.

“Our journey started 15 years ago when my son was told by the paediatrician he’d never go to a mainstream school …  today he got 99.45,” Ross told 3AW, fighting back tears.

His son has autism.

“He is the most inspiring young man I’ve ever met,” his proud father declared.

Ross shared some words of encouragement for parents in a similar position.

“Ten years ago it was a very bleak, dark, place we were all in… but today it’s everything,” he said.
