The channel “lookyus“ is directed at an audience of older teens, young and older adults, and parents of special needs. By sharing Tommy‘s journey, we aim to educate adults about ASD. We receive many messages from adults with ASD, parents and adults working with people with ASD, and Disney Cast members, all saying the videos inspire them. We get messages from adults struggling with depression, even with suicidal thoughts, who found Tommy’s videos online, began running, and changed their life. We are proud to educate adults about Paralympics T20 category! Tommy opens adult’s minds to new possibilities, gives parents and teachers hope, helps them see there’s no limits for an adult like Tommy! Tommy's takeoff "Whee" has helped adults with fear of flying, who wrote to say they thought of Tommy, said Whee, and got past their fear! Adults living with a diagnosis of ASD and other things write to say they became proud to tell others their diagnosis after seeing Tommy's videos! Dream big :)
Hope you had a wonderful train ride. You know I've always loved trains since I was little especially the steam locomotives. They're the most fun to look at and RIDE! 🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃
Knowing Tommy's lifelong history of his adoration of trains, and how trains are 1 of several of his interests, seeing him sing his Disney songs has to be the greatest way for Tommy to express happiness!
Tommy meeting Pinocchio was CUTE! Speaking of Pinocchio, I was watching a Faerie Tale Theater adaptation of Pinocchio where the late Carl Reiner played Gepetto and the late Paul Reubens (of Pee-Wee Herman fame) played Pinocchio. I know Pinocchio's based upon an Italian tale since Carlo Collodi wrote it, but the weird part is that Paul Reubens spoke with his Pee-Wee Herman voice when playing Pinocchio - everyone else spoke with Italian accents.
That jigsaw puzzle of Tommy and Tyrone was amazing! I suppose it was custom made. I recall in 2009 when we gained "pup-stody" of my sister's beagle Abby (who sadly died in 2018), I got a photo of her made into a bunch of coasters at Walmart - I gave them to my sister as a Christmas gift that year while she still lived in Colorado Springs (before she moved to Hawaii). When I see the drawings Tommy does time to time, I had done a drawing of Abby in the form of a Bluey character. I also drew a picture of Joni, my friend's yellow Labrador. I'm now planning to do a picture of her recently deceased golden doodle named Woodrow. Last night I started playing a new video game called Ty the Tasmanian Tiger (which had an HD remaster on the Nintendo Switch and other gaming systems), and decided to do research about this new fandom - and I found out that Ty's real name is Tyrone, which is the name of Tommy's service dog! -Andrea
Since i watched the little mermaid on video on the tablet on archive on tuesdays i backward the video cinderella when i come home from work that day. And tommy told Ariel that movie when interupted princess belle.
And also I watched the little mermaid the series on video on archive too it's Ariel's undersea adventures and I watched the wonderful world of Disney the little mermaid live on Disney+ on my tablet.
I’m also autistic and sometimes I just can’t sit still on certain flights if it’s gonna be really long and noisy, and/or if it’s just really noisy overall. Sometimes doing the Tommy Whee can be a good way to let out some of your energy as soon as you’re finally off the ground. I actually did the Tommy Whee taking off on an Alaska Airlines flight from EWR to LAX in January 2023.
That's awesome! So glad it helped! We often get messages from followers of Tommy who say there were very afraid and nervous to fly, but after seeing Tommy's videos thought of him and said Whee on takeoff, and it really helped!!! Have a great day :)
I'm watching this video, and I noticed the Bugs Bunny plushie - every July 27th I not only celebrate Bugs Bunny's birthday in every which way, but I always imagine Bugs Bunny at his birthday party taking a moment of silence to remember my paternal uncle who sadly died in 2019 - my uncle (dad's brother) had the same birthday as Bugs Bunny.
Hi Dustin, This is Tommy's mom! I hope you get to meet Disney princesses too someday! And I hope you have the support you need iin your daily adventures :) hugs
That view looks spectacular, its giving dream weather! I know every run for Tommy is magical in their own way! Since I'm here, might as well wish Peter a early Happy Father's Day!
