I'm crying like a baby. The support these people have given Tommy is absolutely phenomenal, each time they all saw him and recognized him and clapped...it was just beautiful!
Hi, This is Tommy's mom, MaryAnn. Thanks for crying along with me, about the beauty of the kindness shown to Tommy. Hope you had lots of kleenex nearby :) Hugs.
Please don't let the thumbs down make you sad or feel bad. Those who thumbed the video down don't understand how great and special You and Disney are. There are so many more good things and thumbs up waiting for you in life. Just beeeeeeee yourself!
Nowadays Disney Gets A Lot Of Criticism For Its Role Within Our Popular Culture, But I Can Tell You That, As A Disney Fan Myself, It Does Amazing Things To Young Children! It Helped Me Accept Myself And It Has Help Tommy Develop To An Amazing Young Man Full Of Love! This Video Made Me Cry Tears Of Joy And Hope That There Is Still Good In People, Congratulations To All Your Friends At Disney And May They Continue Making Many Dreams Come True For Ages To Come!!!
This made me cry. Tommy is such an inspiration. Thank you for this beautiful video and Tommy, thank you for your incredible gift to love and be kind and be friends to everyone. We could all learn so much from you
"Autism means friendship", wow I can't stop to cry, Tommy is a big inspiration for me as a mom of a 7 year old boy who has autism, thanks a lot MaryAnn to share this videos with all the world, God put his eyes on you and your husband, that's why he sent you a beautiful angel: Tommy :)
This is an amazing video, started crying when the characters started to hug him, we can all see that Disney means a lot to him so much! Sending all my love to tommy and the family Xxx
Tommy is the greatest inspiration for other kids and adults who have autism. I cried when I read "autism means friendship" that just really touches the darkest part of my heart and lights it up.
Tommy, yet again your story has made me cry tears of joy! I've been watching your videos for almost half a year now! So proud of you. Magic at its very very best.
Keep up the great work Tommy. Everyday you inspire other just by being you. Watching all your video's, autisim is more than friendship. With Tommy and Disney it is love. You give from your heart and all of Disney pays it forward back to you.
I have never cried so hard in my life. I have never been so inspired. People like Tommy restore my faith in Humanity. I was so moved and I will def. share this video. People need to me Tommy and his BIG HEART!
lookyus Oh my goodness, anytime sweetie. I just watched your video where you are watching the fireworks. You are definitely an inspiration. Super big hug your way! XOXO
Tommy is my new inspiration. I sobbed so much during this video. It is incredible that when the princesses/princes etc saw him, they remembered him. They meet so many people and the fact that they remembered Tommy is amazing. He seems like such a sweet boy. I just emailed a bunch of my friends the link to your youtube channel so they can see how incredible this is. Bless Tommy and his family and friends. xoxo
tommy is such an inspiration. i have been going through a pretty rough time right now and seeing this was so heartwarming. it was just what i needed. thank you so much for being brave enough to share this incredible story with us.
What a wonderful video! Then again any video with Tommy is just magical. Thank you for sharing this and more of his story. I hope one day in the future Tommy and his family and will fly over to Disneyland Paris so he can meet his friends over there and others can meet him too. I know I would love too. =] Cannot wait to see more from Tommy in the future. x
My name is Heather and I would just like to let you know how much Tommy has inspired me. I just discovered your channel a few days ago and I can't stop watching, Tommy is a very special person and I wish I knew him in the real world because I would love to be his friend. I've been going through a really rough week and watching this video along with all of the others has cheered me up tremendously. I'm currently an acting major and it's been my dream for as long as I can remember to be casted as a character at Disney World. Kids like Tommy are the reason I want to pursue this career so badly, if I had the power to bring that much joy to just one person at my job I would be the happiest person alive. I just you to know how much Tommy has inspired me and has made this dream of one day being a Disney character at Disney world so much more desirable in my eyes. Thank you for everything, and hopefully I'll get to meet Tommy someday myself as one of those characters. :) God Bless you and your family Tommy, Merry Christmas.
Hi Heather, This is Tommy's mom, MaryAnn :) Thank you so very much for this beautiful, kind message. I will show it to Tommy! We are so happy to know that Tommy's videos have brought you joy
Hi MaryAnn! So someone recently liked my comment and it brought it back into light, and I just wanted to let you know I have less than a year of school left and I will be moving down to Orlando and hopefully going through casting auditions at Disney! I'm currently a cosplayer, I do a lot of things around the Chicago-land area as Princess Anna considering she's my look-alike and favorite Princess. I just wanted to say thank you again for the inspiration, I think about Tommy very frequently even three years later and continue to share your channel and his videos with people I love. When asked why I want to work for Disney, I show them Tommy. If you want to check out my cosplay stuff go to GirlonFireCosplay on instagram and you can see some photos as me as Anna as well as many other characters. Hope these last few years have brought you much joy and love, -Heather :)
Amazing story, have a 14 year old daughter with pdd nos. She has made me see things in a different way. Autism does mean friendship. I'm proud not only to be her mom, but her friend as well. Autism = ausome. God bless.
This has to be one of my favorite videos, I honestly found Tommy's videos by accident, but I'm so glad I did. Tommy reminds me of my little brother and because of Tommy and his adventures, I have more hope for my little brother to be able to talk more and be able to do alot more. I remember being part of the T-Shirt concert and honestly I was so happy Tommy said my name right (almost ;) ) but I love the videos and I hope one day to meet Tommy. Thank you for sharing your story Tommy
I am crying my eyes out. Tommy is such a special boy...I'm sorry MAN. I work with autistic children in a residential hospital setting that aren't as lucky as Tommy and I am just SO thankful that he has parents like you momma. It seems you have raised a pretty amazing man. Autism is not a "setback". It's a part of character. I've never been to Disney, but when I REALLY want to go and feel like dreaming, I watch Tommy. Thank you Tommy for helping my dream come true. I get to see Disney World through you. Maybe one day, after college, my dream will come true and I can meet Ariel
Congratulations to to Tommy coming In 9th place that was wonderful I love watching these beautiful stories that was awesome everyone recognized him I even cried best wishes to u & ur family maryanne
Tommy is amazing and I would be so proud to know him this really got me in tears the fact that everyone who he loves at disney showed him their love...he really deserves this and much much more of it!
this is beautiful. I am so proud of tommy and all of the things he's done. he's a truly magnificent guy and gone through so much. he deserves all the happiness in the world. I love you tommy!
I just can't believe how important this boy has becomed to me, i find disney movies so inspiring too and that is what i love about this videos.Tommy is such an inspiration to fight for my dreams, Never let someone tell you Tommy that you are different and cant get what you want because you are exceptional! 😊✨ Keep on with the great job.
Thanks to Tommy, he's one of the resons why I'm still alive. I've had so many rough years that i almost decided to end my life....but then I decided to watch Disney videos because I know that they can make me happy and i found Tommy's channel :) He always knows how to put a big smile on my face :)
+Mónica Coronado Hello, Mónica. Your message touched our hearts. We are so relieved to know that you found solace in Tommy's videos, and began to smile again. Please know that joy is always near. There are so many challenges, and heartaches, and struggles. Tommy knows struggle. His message is that joy can overcome. We hope you are still well, today. Thanks for reaching out. Hugs and love and joy to you.
I cried so hard. Tommy is such a great person and you just have to look at his smile to see that. I know someone who has Autism and I know that he has some anxiety issues in big crowds. After this, I will never look at autism the same. I will pass the word on to him that autism means friendship. Tommy: keep smiling and keep being the same way that you are now. Keep loving Disney and never ever stop loving at all. All the best, Megan
+Disney Fan and Disneybounder Hi Megan, Thanks for seeing and understanding, and reaching out. It means the world to us. Your insightful comment made us feel understood. Joy to you
i just found this video and started to cry its soo over whelming to see what he does to people. Hes such an loving and lovely person tommy please allways stay true to who you are and keep loving the disney fam as much as they love you. Greetings and love from the netherlands
This is definitely one of the best and inspirational videos I've watched. I'm happy for Tommy! I'm autistic myself. At first, I thought it was a bad thing, but now, I've learnt that it's not a bad thing and that though we're different, we're normal like everyone else, but we just see things in a different light and the ones who are true to us will accept us for who we are. After reading what was said on this video, it says it all. Dreams really do come true, all you gotta do is believe! Well done to Tommy!
This video is so amazing that I felt like crying and it inspired me to believe in my dream and move along with my life and ignore the haters and believe in what you can do and i believe that he can do it.I also subscribe because he inspired me to subscribe to this channel because of all the amazing videos he has and all the people who believe in him because Disney World or Disneyland is a "Happiest Place On Earth" and the characters also believe in Tommy. So thats all for today :) , Sincerely, Kitty Pan (Katherine)
I teared up a little watching this video. What an amazing, strong and handsome guy Tommy is (: I wish him all the best!!! Say hi to him for me, and tell him that I think he's a true inspiration with loving people surrounding him. Also, tell him to never forget how awesome he is.
omg i just cried like a baby for this kid and his story- hits right at home bc my lil brother has autism even though my brother story isn't has heart-filled as Tommy i still know the struggle kids with autism have to deal with.....still crying like a baby :,(
+Chelsea Weese Hey Chelsea, We know the struggle too. It is not an easy path. But love and joy will guide you. Wishing you and your brother and your family all the joy in the world. hugs
I'm crying like a baby. it is been for ages. This is something truly incredible, magical, special.I wish him all the best!!! Thank you for sharing this and more of his story.
What a beautiful family. I volunteer with autistic kids here in Edmonton, Alberta and it's so heartwarming when I see them thriving and being one with the world around them. Tommy is a blessing to you and the people around him. Hope your days will always hold love, laughter and warmth! Tommy is an amazing young man!
Hi Amar, Hello from Ottawa! Hope things are good in Edmonton! Thanks for your very kind comment and for watching. You and the autistic kids you work with are lucky to have each other :) -Tommy's mom, MaryAnn
I watched this video with tears of happiness! I was diagnosed with autism when I was 2 and Disney really sparks my life! Looks like Tommy and I have a lot in common. I get anxiety at times and have been struggling with communication but unlike other autistics, I have high functional intelligence and people couldn't tell that I'm autistic. I totally didn't know that autism means friendship. I always love to go to Disney Parks which feels like paradise!
Tommy is a true warrior and very handsome prince. May God bless his soul and i'm glad that he is having fun with Anastasia and drizella. I will ask them if they know you tommy. Btw you are an inspiration to people and including me. Thanks buddy and be positive always ok
Bumped accidentally into one of Tommy's video's yesterday. In these two days I think I watched most of his video's by now :D He's just the sweetest guy, the love he spreads around is amazing. Big hug and a kiss on the cheek for Tommy and lots of Disney magic & luck in the future! X
Tommy is living proof that autistic kids can do things. Whenever people don't believe me when I say Im autistic and hold all their misconceptions I show them Tommy and how amazing he is. For them, he deifies what autism is and it shocks them. I am exceptionally proud of knowing how far he's come
I cried all throughout this video! I have two cousins that have autism. I love and adore them with all my heart. Seeing Tommy's dreams come true, overwhelms me with happiness and inspiration. Thank you so much for sharing Tommy's adventures with us
The powers of " Disney, and Tommy, I seen this in my feeds, and I am blown away. I know this is a old video, but I had to leave a message, and know what it is like to have a disability and, for someone who can overcome it, and inspire like Tommy has, is amazing.
I've just been diagnosed with Autism. At 42! Tommy has inspired me even at my age. I think Disney should make a movie about the whole Des Brisay family. Of course Tommy would be the star :) thank you for all the effort you all put into sharing your lives with us. I sense there are even more amazing things to come! Lee x
Tommy, you are AWESOME! I don't know how but I just came across your UA-cam channel and just 2 days ago and I am so thankful that I have. I am addicted to your video's. I've watched almost all of your videos already and some I have watched more then once. You have such a warm, caring, comforting and bright personality, I can see why people love you so much. You are such and inspiration and I wish you the best in everything that you do! I'll know you'll be awesome at it! 💋😃💋
+Kari Hiltner (Lilbiscuit5) Hi Kari, This message warmed our hearts and made us sooo happy. Thanks for taking the time to comment, and thanks for your supportive, kind words. It means everything. hugs
How come this video has not more views? This, is why I'm so in loved with UA-cam and internet though. You're a real source of motivation and inspiration, thank you so much for being here with us. You and your family are more than awesome, Cheers from France. My name is Loïc and I'm your friend =)
Tommy I am a huge fan of yours. I have repeatedly watched your videos and have smiled and laughed at every single one of them. It brings me joy to see you living out your dream and seeing how strong of a person you are. Watching you makes me smile from ear to ear. I usually don't cry, but watching this video brought me to tears of happiness for you. You are going to go on and do great things and I wish you the best! You are honestly amazing and an inspiration to all Tommy!
Thanks to Tommy's family for sharing him with all of us! I tear up every time I watch this, which is often, because I recommend it often. Joy, triumph and amazement! Thank you MaryAnn!!
"Autism means Friendship"....a new way of looking autism ...thank you for sharing this word of inspiration and giving new hope to the world...kudos to tommy!!!...to the parents you're so much blessed!!!
You are amazing Tommy!!! I am so thankful for the smile you have given me today as well as happy tears watching your videos. I will be taking a nursing final tomorrow and I needed a smile in the stress of it all. I pray I can touch the hearts of my future patients the way you touched my heart today!! Keep smiling and keep dreaming... As we all know, "A dream is a wish your heart makes.." God bless you!!!!
Oh my God.This is amazing! I literally smiled throughout the entire video. Tommy is awesome and I would LOVE to meet him and talk about stuff about Disney and stuff. Tommy, if you're reading this, keep doing what you love, man. Keep smiling, keep imagining, and keep moving forward no matter what. You are one in a million and I'm glad I found you online!
Hi, This is Tommy's mom, MaryAnn. Thank you so very much for this beautiful comment. We are glad you found Tommy here, too! Keep on being your positive self :)
Tommy is an inspiration , like many autistic adults . Experts might say " don't do this " don't do that " blah blah blah but they don't know even half of it. Life and people in it tend always think what's inside the box people like tommy do not. We need more people like him
This is so wonderful, I was smiling through all the video but I totally lost it when I heard Naveen yell “Bye Tommy!!” from the tower, because that means that even from up there he recognized him and wanted to say goodbye to him
+Paola Ruiz Hello, Paola, Every time we hear Naveen's "Bye, Tommy" we burst into tears. So much love, magic, and friendship in those words called from a distance. Thanks for getting it. hugs.
im overcome with tears..tommy is an inspiration to us all his spirit and attitude towards everything just makes me want to better myself and be more like him everyday God Bless
ABSOLUTELY INSPIRING!!!! I cannot put into words how I feel when I watch one of Tommies youtube videos! Please keep these moments of inspiration coming for others to see!
omg i'm crying. He's so inspirational. I wish you all the best Tommy, you are an incredible person♥ i can't discribe what i'm feeling when i see you, i'm speechless. All the best from germany, stay strong, we love you♥
"Autism means friendship." omg i'm crying.
You are perfect the way you are, never forget that Tommy♥♥
you're welcome♥
Noname™ I know he is just the best.
I'm crying like a baby. The support these people have given Tommy is absolutely phenomenal, each time they all saw him and recognized him and clapped...it was just beautiful!
Hi, This is Tommy's mom, MaryAnn. Thanks for crying along with me, about the beauty of the kindness shown to Tommy. Hope you had lots of kleenex nearby :) Hugs.
"Autism means friendship."
All my life, as someone else with autism, I've never thought of it that way. Your son is genuinely one of a kind
+Tsukino101 Thank you. And thank you for getting it. hugs
This was way too magical. I'm crying to much! Tommy deserves all of this and more!
+Brianna Logan Thank you, Brianna,

This Video Made Me Cry Tears Of Joy And Hope That There Is Still Good In People, Congratulations To All Your Friends At Disney And May They Continue Making Many Dreams Come True For Ages To Come!!!
Just think of the effort wasted in capitalizing every word, of every sentence.
+g0dbel0w Perhaps the unique capitalization was the best possible form of expression for this particular message, at this very moment in time.
luigi3duran Absolutely couldn't agree more.
Tommys acceptance and kindness to others makes him twice the man I ever was
+Jude Watchowski Your kind words make you a magical person. Best to you!

My name is Heather and I would just like to let you know how much Tommy has inspired me. I just discovered your channel a few days ago and I can't stop watching, Tommy is a very special person and I wish I knew him in the real world because I would love to be his friend. I've been going through a really rough week and watching this video along with all of the others has cheered me up tremendously.

Hi Heather, This is Tommy's mom, MaryAnn :) Thank you so very much for this beautiful, kind message. I will show it to Tommy! We are so happy to know that Tommy's videos have brought you joy
lookyus Hi Tommy's mom! Was that Tommy's girlfriend at his left side? The brunette? That would be so cool!
Hi MaryAnn!
So someone recently liked my comment and it brought it back into light, and I just wanted to let you know I have less than a year of school left and I will be moving down to Orlando and hopefully going through casting auditions at Disney! I'm currently a cosplayer, I do a lot of things around the Chicago-land area as Princess Anna considering she's my look-alike and favorite Princess. I just wanted to say thank you again for the inspiration, I think about Tommy very frequently even three years later and continue to share your channel and his videos with people I love. When asked why I want to work for Disney, I show them Tommy. If you want to check out my cosplay stuff go to GirlonFireCosplay on instagram and you can see some photos as me as Anna as well as many other characters. Hope these last few years have brought you much joy and love,
-Heather :)
I'm crying so much right now. WOW. He is such an inspiration

I have high-functioning autism spectrum disorder as well. I too think this is very inspirational

+K Sayaka Thanks for your kind words. love to you
What a beautiful family. I volunteer with autistic kids here in Edmonton, Alberta and it's so heartwarming when I see them thriving and being one with the world around them. Tommy is a blessing to you and the people around him. Hope your days will always hold love, laughter and warmth! Tommy is an amazing young man!
Hi Amar, Hello from Ottawa! Hope things are good in Edmonton! Thanks for your very kind comment and for watching. You and the autistic kids you work with are lucky to have each other :) -Tommy's mom, MaryAnn

I watched this video with tears of happiness! I was diagnosed with autism when I was 2 and Disney really sparks my life! Looks like Tommy and I have a lot in common. I get anxiety at times and have been struggling with communication but unlike other autistics, I have high functional intelligence and people couldn't tell that I'm autistic. I totally didn't know that autism means friendship. I always love to go to Disney Parks which feels like paradise!
nikkdisneylover8390 Hi Nikki, Thank you for this message. Sending you a big hug, wishing you much magic
Yeah o have anxiety and panic attacks like when I go places I have a panic attack and have to leave so I might be getting a service dog for it
This is amazing! I cried so much! Tommy is such an inspiration to me!
Tommy is a true warrior and very handsome prince. May God bless his soul and i'm glad that he is having fun with Anastasia and drizella. I will ask them if they know you tommy. Btw you are an inspiration to people and including me. Thanks buddy and be positive always ok
daniel chaviano Thank you so much, Daniel. Your comment made us smile
Bumped accidentally into one of Tommy's video's yesterday. In these two days I think I watched most of his video's by now :D He's just the sweetest guy, the love he spreads around is amazing. Big hug and a kiss on the cheek for Tommy and lots of Disney magic & luck in the future! X
Dorien Snels Hi Dorien, So happy you found Tommy's videos! Big hug to you, too, and sending extra pixie dust your way!
Thank you so much Maryanne!!!
+Annie Norton Thanks, Annie.
And this is why I LOVE Disney world. Tommy seems like a great kid...you did a great job, mama!
Thank you for these kind words :) - Tommy's mom
He is a an inspirational to me and hope he wins some more races!!
+xXyoshigamingXx Thanks, and no worries, he is not stopping running any time soon! When you have a dream...
Aww I love this. Dreams do come true. Im so proud of you Tommy. You beat the odds. Im crying. The characters recognized you so awesome.
Tommy is living proof that autistic kids can do things. Whenever people don't believe me when I say Im autistic and hold all their misconceptions I show them Tommy and how amazing he is. For them, he deifies what autism is and it shocks them. I am exceptionally proud of knowing how far he's come
I cried all throughout this video! I have two cousins that have autism. I love and adore them with all my heart. Seeing Tommy's dreams come true, overwhelms me with happiness and inspiration. Thank you so much for sharing Tommy's adventures with us
Hi Jenna, Cousins are the best :) I'm sure your cousins with Autism adore you as well
This is such a powerful and inspiring video. I really love your channel.
+AlohaMaëva We love that you watch, and comment. Your words mean so much. Thanks
The powers of " Disney, and Tommy, I seen this in my feeds, and I am blown away. I know this is a old video, but I had to leave a message, and know what it is like to have a disability and, for someone who can overcome it, and inspire like Tommy has, is amazing.
Thank you so very much for your message, it means so much. Dream big and believe
Beautiful. Makes me cry every time. Congrats Tommy. I'm so proud of you. Dreams really do come true.
+Paula Cole Hey Paula, They really do. Thanks for your kind words
I've just been diagnosed with Autism. At 42! Tommy has inspired me even at my age. I think Disney should make a movie about the whole Des Brisay family. Of course Tommy would be the star :) thank you for all the effort you all put into sharing your lives with us. I sense there are even more amazing things to come! Lee x
+chicorganisation1 Thank you for your supportive words. hugs

Tommy I am a huge fan of yours. I have repeatedly watched your videos and have smiled and laughed at every single one of them. It brings me joy to see you living out your dream and seeing how strong of a person you are. Watching you makes me smile from ear to ear. I usually don't cry, but watching this video brought me to tears of happiness for you. You are going to go on and do great things and I wish you the best! You are honestly amazing and an inspiration to all Tommy!
Thank you, Taylor

You are amazing Tommy!!! I am so thankful for the smile you have given me today as well as happy tears watching your videos. I will be taking a nursing final tomorrow and I needed a smile in the stress of it all. I pray I can touch the hearts of my future patients the way you touched my heart today!! Keep smiling and keep dreaming... As we all know, "A dream is a wish your heart makes.." God bless you!!!!
Disney is so powerful .and it's great to know that it has changed Tommy's life.Walt would be proud.

Oh my God.This is amazing! I literally smiled throughout the entire video. Tommy is awesome and I would LOVE to meet him and talk about stuff about Disney and stuff. Tommy, if you're reading this, keep doing what you love, man. Keep smiling, keep imagining, and keep moving forward no matter what. You are one in a million and I'm glad I found you online!
Hi, This is Tommy's mom, MaryAnn. Thank you so very much for this beautiful comment. We are glad you found Tommy here, too! Keep on being your positive self :)
This is so magical. Tommy is such an inspiration to me and so many others!! Dreams DO come true!!!!!!!
Yes, they really do
i cried, tommy is such an inspiration and i hope he continues to grow with smiles and happiness. i hope to meet you someday :) thank you
+Madeleine Pedersen Hope to meet you, too. hugs
Tommy is an inspiration , like many autistic adults . Experts might say " don't do this " don't do that " blah blah blah but they don't know even half of it. Life and people in it tend always think what's inside the box people like tommy do not. We need more people like him
This is so wonderful, I was smiling through all the video but I totally lost it when I heard Naveen yell “Bye Tommy!!” from the tower, because that means that even from up there he recognized him and wanted to say goodbye to him
+Paola Ruiz Hello, Paola, Every time we hear Naveen's "Bye, Tommy" we burst into tears. So much love, magic, and friendship in those words called from a distance. Thanks for getting it. hugs.
This truly warms my heart, just like all your other disney experiences! Big love all the way from the Netherlands!
+Marieke Blomjous Hey Marieke, Love to you, too. Happy New Year!
im overcome with tears..tommy is an inspiration to us all his spirit and attitude towards everything just makes me want to better myself and be more like him everyday God Bless
Thank you, Diamond, for these kind words
This made me tear up. Tommy, you are such an inspiration! Thanks for sharing all the videos :)
+JJC418 thank you for watching!!!
