A young man’s determination coupled with support from his mum has finally paid off as he became a graduate in style.
The young man identified as Isaac finished from the University of Lancashire, UK with a second-class upper degree in accountancy and finance.
Celebrating her son’s feat on Twitter, his mum revealed that Isaac had been diagnosed with autism (a disorder that affects the ability to communicate and interact) when he was barely 2years old.
The woman who works as a primary school teacher, according to her bio, stated that doctors told her he would never talk properly.
They said his academic endeavour would not exceed the secondary school level but Isaac has proved that wrong. The overjoyed woman shared a photo of her son.
“My son Isaac; diagnosed autistic at 21 months. Told he would never talk properly, then he’d never cope in mainstream then never get GCSEs, certainly not anything higher. But he proved them wrong and here he is holding his 2:1 degree certificate in accountancy and finance”
