Tommy accidentally overheated at the Xerox 10k race in Ottawa, August 20, 2013

Tommy has never overheated before. And, probably due to his Autism, he didn't recognize the signs, or communicate them to his dad, who was with him during this race. Knowing Tommy would want to watch the video of his experience at the first aid station, Tommy's mom kept the camera rolling. Tommy loves to watch his experiences on video, and wanted to share this experience with his KZbin friends. It has always been Tommy's choice to share his videos. Tommy loves a good story. And he, and we, hope you love this story of the time Tommy ended up at the first aid station! With a happy ending! :) Thanks so much to Andrea, who helped Tommy. And to all of Tommy's friends and family who stayed close by as he recovered. You are the best.

Honestly he doesn't seem autistic! He seems like one of the kindest people and also like he would be fun to be around! You guys are so very lucky to have him in your life and you're all so kind to him! It's amazing and I am completely awestruck when I watch his Disney videos

[@sarahhh7007]

LOL! Tommy!!! You made my day when you said: "i just want that little boy to help me stand up and help me get lots of healthy spinach"

[@alisonbenda8411]

[@AquaSakura1]

every time I watch one of Tommy's videos it makes me so happy to see him happy and afterwards I cant wait to get back to my summer job at the summer camp I intern with here in New York. I'm glad Tommy got better so quickly after overheating and I would have no trouble with random Tommy hugs or feeding him bananas. Love you all even though we have never met. Lots of Love. Savannah

[@lookyus]

AquaSakura1 hey Savannah, this is Mary Ann, Tommy's mom! This message made us smile! You can feed bananas to Tommy when we bump into you someday! The kids at the camp where you work are lucky indeed, have a great day!

[@nathanpatterson1319]

what happen to Tommy has a overheated face

[@lookyus]

It was a very hot day, and Tommy didn't realize he was overheating, because it was the first time it really happened to him. That is why he ended up at the first aid station. Luckily, he cooled off very well.

[@Luna-yj6zh]

I was formerly known as Stephanie dove.

[@stevencordonnier2508]
