Beautiful Short Film with a big heart . Thank you for sharing
What an incredible journey for Scott and an amazing story put together on film. A great video that raises awareness of the real struggles of raising a child on the spectrum but also the extra love and affection that comes with it. Also highlights the importance of a supportive school environment. Talented filming by Fir - well done for your effort and raising awareness on an important subject
This is a beautiful film. Congratulations on the great work you're doing.
Any kids who needs special care autism especially should be sent to special schools where expert teachers are there to guide teach and support. This will help to improve the childrens abality to communicate and gain self confidence where we parents do not have the capability to do so. This film makes us parents aware the existence of such schools with expert to guide our children to have a better future.
The moment I started watching the film I couldnt stop crying. Honestly I worked at EVP ESC for 18 months and had the chance to work with Scott for a few of those months. I still feel that the place is incredibly welcoming supportive and amazing for children with special needs. I truly miss my time there but unfortunately I had to move and leave. I still dream of returning one dayto the lovely staff and the beautiful environment. Love Reem

Watching Scottys Journey touched my heart in a way words cant fully describe. Its a beautiful reminder that strength love and wisdom often come from the most unexpected places. Scottys story teaches us to see the world with more patience compassion and understanding. Thank you to East Victoria Park Education Support Centre for sharing this powerful real-life journey its more than a documentary its a gift to everyone who watches it.
Aww so proud of him and his mumma and all the staff parents and other children helping him along this journey you are all doing an amazing job
Scotty has a way of teaching those around him lessons that can't be found in books. Through his autism he invites his family to slow down and see the world through a different lens. He reminds us that communication doesnt always come in words that eye contact gestures a shared smile or a quiet moment side by side can say just as much if not more.
So proud of you my incredible soul sister Lynn Your journey is an exemple and shows light and hope. You and Scotty are amazing Love you guys
