An autistic schoolboy has been cruelly mocked by a teacher in a video riddled with sexual innuendo – while his parents ridicule the school over the “disgusting” act.
Melbourne father Vince and mother Leah expressed outrage after the couple’s son, Max, 10, became the focus of a vile end-of-year school video at Rosewood Downs Primary School.
Max, who is on the spectrum and also suffers from ADHD and anxiety, was featured in the clip along with 12 other boys who have learning disabilities.
The video was made by a teacher for the outgoing primary school principal and was later posted to YouTube by staff.
It mocks the 13 boys and is filled with a number of sexual innuendos traced back to the children.

One section shows photos of the children with a sarcastic caption that reads, “I can’t forget the 1st grade kids, who are such a friendly and welcoming group.” Why would Julian (the director) want to leave them?’
“It’s not because of the preparations and their cute and adorable ways anyway.
“To be honest, 6 more years of these delights would make most people want to evacuate early,” the caption added.
Vince and Leah told Allison Langdon of A Current Affair that they were “speechless,” “shocked,” and “absolutely disgusted” by the clip.
“It made me sick, it was just disgusting. I don’t even have the words because I’m so angry about what I saw,” Vince said.
“I don’t understand how anyone can even make a video with all these sexual innuendos and then add kids to it. What goes through their heads?
“It’s so disrespectful for someone to think about that and add the faces of the kids and our family.”
Vince and Leah believe the 13 boys were specially “picked” by teachers to star in the video.

The pair had to deal with the school in the past due to some incidents involving Max.
Allison Langdon told the parents that she would be “filled with rage” if it was her child who was targeted by the school.
“If you think this is funny, you shouldn’t be teaching,” Leah added.
The parents claim that the video has negatively affected Max’s mental health.
“He started walking around saying, ‘I should be normal, I shouldn’t have autism, I should be normal,'” Vince revealed.
An investigation into the school has been launched since the vile video was published online.
Victoria’s education minister Natalie Hutchins said her department was investigating the school.
