When Chris Bunton was born with Down Syndrome his parents wondered if he’d ever achieve the independence they dreamed of… but he has exceeded all their expectations. At just 22 years old, Chris combines part-time work with university study as well as a demanding gymnastics training programme.

Chris invites us into his busy life in Sydney, while his parents share insights they have gained from raising an independent son.

I cannot thank you enough for this documentary. I have a 2 year old son with down syndrome and I have always been so afraid for his future. Will he have friends? Will he go to university? Will he be able to handle money? Will he drive a car? Wll he have a job? Will he be independent? Chris has answered all those questions with a resounding YES! Thank you for showing what people with down syndrome can achieve!

He's an incredible athlete, especially considering people withe DS have poor muscle tone. To be able to do what he does, he's had to have worked three times as hard as a person with with typical muscle tone.

My brother had Down Syndrome. He wasn't as high functioning but I wonder how different things might have been for him with all of the help people with Down Syndrome now get. My brother was born in the late 1930s when most kids were institutionalized. My mother refused to do that for which we are all grateful.

When he said, "How do I maximize what my son can do?" I started tearing up.

He's remarkable. His future looks very bright. This boy makes something of himself. He is so intelligent as well. This truly touches my heart.

Incredible young man. I have a 13 year old with DS who is "high functioning" by most standards but to imagine this level of independence seems miles away at this point. These parents must feel such pride and accomplishment at helping their son achieve what he has.

This guy is in better shape and has better vocabulary than most of the people without down syndrome. Absolutely outstanding human being.

Knowing that people with Down syndrome have low muscle tone to begin with, this guy's athletic capabilites are amazing!
