According to his mum, 12-year-old Dustin Neilsen is "just a normal bush kid" who likes to be outside with his pet dogs, build with Lego and play his electric guitar. This year he should have started year 7 at boarding school, but his family has had difficulty finding one that will accommodate his needs. Dustin has autism and despite trying to coordinate a plan with schools and therapists, his parents have been turned down by two schools and told by another to wait 12 months.
