  • wow! I am amazed! I know you are older now, but you are such an inspiration! I have a disability as well, and I'm not a bit courageous as you my friend! I have watched so many people here on YouTube w/ disabilities, and I love it bc it has taught me thing about them I didn't know.

  • This guy is smarted than me .

  • You are soooo brave! Keep the courage throughout your life, it will help a lot! :)

  • You are not weak son, you are stronger than those who mock you. God is with you always. Keep going.

  • Very good video bud. You sir just earned yourself a new subscriber.

  • i am very proud of you buddy, i have a cerebral palsy to but im not as brave as you to take camera and shoot a video for youtube so keep up what you are doing and best of luck, god bless you my bro oh yeah fuck all the trolls

  • Dude, CP or not, I can't get over how intelligent you are for being 13 years old! (granted your're probably 15 now.) But still, I'm 26, and I don't even possess the ability to dictate my thoughts with as much clarity and maturity as you do. I'm stunned. Not to mention that it is astonishing that of all the videos on YouTube relating to Drupal Tutorials, the vast majority of them (and the most comprehensive ones at that) are from a 13 year old kid! Unbelievable! Keep up the good work man!

  • I aspire to have your constitution and insight Tom.

    God Bless

  • You are so sweet and smart. Watching your videos reminds me of what my son may grow up to be like. He is our only child and has CP. Thanks for making your voice public~ very courageous :)

  • Thank you... My gf has cerbal palsy im glad i came across this video. People that r mean to have no right to. You r smarter than a lot of the people that r mean. Keep makin ur videos. They help us understand cerbal palsy more.

  • People who make negative comments and insult you are doing so because they are not happy about themselves. You are a great person and a GENIUS! I thought I knew a lot about computers until I came to your channel, keep doing what you are doing!

  • Never let that fire in your heart become extinguished, because you my friend shall do great things:)

  • haha you got fire in your heart! it will burn strong into something great!

  • i have cerebral palsy

  • I very much enjoy your videos

    and thank you for you videos

    and thank you for explaining your condition :D

  • i think you are very brave. It is nice that you can ignore the nasty comments from people. Just because you have cerebral palsy it dosent mean you are mentally disabled as you said. I can see in your videos that you are intellegant and you dont give up on things. Good Luck in the future x

  • I think your great for helping people mate. You are definitely a inspiration.  Keep up the good work.

  • your awesome.

  • Well said however your videos are shit if I must say :)

    Marc Reed.

  • Hello Tom,

    Thank you for your great videos and the courage to share your intelligence with us in spite of your physical handicap.

    Best wishes,

    Steve from USA

  • wow man, you have such a vocabulary. You will probably write intelligence essays later in years! better htan me of course.

  • u are amazing!!!

  • 2.16 best bit! burpe of god

  • An inspiration.

    I dont see it otherwise.

    : )

  • your actually an inspiration, i think its so unfair when people say things about your disability its just not fair at all. just gonna say that tbh, you make your videos cause you want to and if people dont want to watch them they dnt have to, but i think your an inspiration babe and well done for not listneing to them! <333

  • love your videos man i subbed 5 stars your a brave dude!

  • i'm a nursing student and just want to thank you for clarifying your condition. You are a brave, smart boy, and I think your video is great.

  • i feel your pain man, i got a blood clot once and when i went back to school and couldnt run, everyoe called me stupid and retarded and all that, i know what it feels like. rock on, dude!

  • ive been watching all ur vids but i forgot to subscribe! keep making vids =D

  • Hey Tom

    I do not like to insult people, but I have to say this: Anyone who cannot appreciate how bright you are and how good your work is needs to open their minds and learn a little bit more about life.

    My husband is really really good with computers, he is more than twice your age, and he learns from you. I very much thank you for this as my husband is the person who builds and maintains my website. So when he tells me "Hey I learned something really cool today", I say "Thanks Tom".

  • Wow keep up on the good work! Just because you have a disability makes you no less of a human

  • Ur doing great for someone with physical disiabilty

    Keep it up!

    I hav a problem with my leg but i pray for u tom

  • Alot of people are horrible Tom. Your great though =D your videos are great =D can you check out my videos and comment ? that would be awsome

  • you are an amazing guy, man... and you mentioned "88" subscribers... and im about to see a vid called "1050 subscribers! or something!" haha so great job, and i am honestly somewhat intrigued. i very much respect your understanding of life. i stopped watching programming and started looking for insightful ones. now i see there are a bunch and this is my first night to stumbe upon it! you were a top result for css wizardry or something. haha take care! email me if ever you get bored ogphil3@gmail

  • Rock On Dude !

    Nothing wrong with being nerdy ;D

  • you rock tom. keep it up.

  • The noise in the background is freaking.. What was up there? o.O

  • I enjoyed your video very much. :D

  • rock on sorry about that man

  • You seem way more mature then alot of kids your age. Never stop dude

  • Ur awesome dude, but at first i thought it said cereal panzy, not cerebral palsy

  • Well done mate. I've enjoyed your other videos also.

    I wish there were more people on YouTube that were as ... hmmm.... mature I guess is the best word for it., as you.

  • You're an amazing person Tom. Don't ever stop making your videos. I truly don't see you as a person who has a disability. Instead I simply see you as a person who is intelligent and capable of a higher level of thinking than many people. Your physical disabilities have absolutely nothing to do with your thought process. Don't let anybody get to you. Keep doing what you love to do.

  • well then,you are another kind of idiots that keep fkin teasing tom

    Ignore them Tom,you are a brave man

  • excuse you! i do not believe i was talkin to yo ass. Please hop off yo daddy's dick and myob ho! lol

  • don't bother about negative comments...they are all sick and I find all ur video's are amazing....u ROCK kid....u've got more balls than all these sick people who have nothing else than pure criticism just coz they are jealous that ur smatter than them...I know ur not looking for sympathy but this video really made me cry....I understand how u feel because even I have faced so much criticism from many assholes like one's who comment on ur video...

  • =D Right on!

  • That what a part of the people here say isn't "criticism", because it is not constructive. It's plain rude. (I lack the proper words for it. xD)

  • You rock! Simple as that!

  • hey dude if anyone has a problem with you they can come deal with me don't mind thier bullshit you've helped me more than enough i would like to send you a gift dunno if you'd lik it snd m your adress

  • You may have a physical disability, but from the videos I've watched so far, you're extremely intelligent and able to convey your thoughts and ideas clearly. (Especially when talking about computers!)

    Today's my first day seeing your videos, but it won't be the last - I'm a subscriber :)

    Thanks for the awesome videos and content!

  • I work at a College for students with physical disabilities most of which have CP, i was a bit nervous working with them at first but i love it now. They are the nicest people i've ever met and they do all the stuff that any other teenagers do.

    Keep it up mate!....your a brave lad

  • all humans should be treated with the same respect, it dont matter how you look or sound, your human. your the sort of person youtube was made for. my cousin has cp, but im not quite sure what type. keep up the videos, 1267 subs, wow.

  • dude u r the smartest kid i've seen

  • Don't listen to what people say... they are rude if they are saying things like that to you. You give good information. Keep making videos and don't listen to the negativity from negative people. :)

    I subscribed !

  • Keep it up dude! I've found many useful entries in your blog. And, let me say, your experience sharing and the simplicity and readability of the blog have dug inclusive design in my mind. thank u!

  • Greetings tom ! Richard here ! iam an instructional assistant at a special needs school . Just wanted to let you know you are cool and doing great !

  • Tom you're disability doesn't stop me from watching your videos. You remind me of my cousin, he also has CP - he kinda looks like you, no joke.

  • Hi Tom, I really don't know much about cerebral palsy but I think that it's really sad that people would leave negative comments about your medical condition. Don't mind them at all. It's not worth your time.

    You strike me as a particularly smart person. I love your videos. Keep on posting.

    Thanks

  • Tom u is very cool

    I have CP

  • nice tom keep it up i do enjoy your videos dont study what other people say to u.all those with the negative comment are just idiots

  • Wow your amzing. You have a way bigger vocabulary than me, and your way smarter than me.

  • Tom, you are a wizard on Drupal and know far more than I do. I think your video's are very instructive and professionally constructed without information overload.

    I am just learning Drupal to build my own site and want to say a huge thank you to you for providing this valuable service to us noobs and wannabes that admire your work.

    Please dont stop and ignore the morons, they are a minority and not worth letting them get to you.

    Andrew K Fletcher

  • You are amazing and you must have wonderful parents who have raised you to embrace your unique gifts and ABILITIES! Your body may have cerebral palsy but most definitely, your mind, spirit and emotions do not. I have become a fan!

  • Well Done m8 dont le them immature children run you down keep up the vids m8

  • Ay up m8.People like Rockylegend1234 make remarks like that cos they aint got no brains!! I can't stand jealous people.

    Keep up the great work tomrogers123!!

  • Hommie, keep it up. You're very mature and intelligent.

  • i have cp

  • Son, I don't think you have to explain to anyone your physical condition. To intelligent, informed people it won't matter. The body is just a vessel for the mind, and as long as you can physically interface with a computer, which you should always be able to do, you can interact with the world in a profound way, something which you are doing. :)

    Keep it up and one day you might be a fantastic computer engineer, or anything else you put your mind to.

  • Come along way haven't we Tom? 86 subscribers when you made this? What is it now 1000? Awesome dude. Much respect. Keep making the videos you make and keep doing your thing.

    This is a great video not just for people who have CP or need to understand CP but it's great encouragement for anyone who deals with hate or ignorance on youtube.

  • I have mildish spastic quad CP, and I've just seen your videos for the first time today. I think you are great. You offer a very knowledgable technology commentary. I'm just wondering if you are able to walk on your own or not? I use a power wheelchair and I'm always curious about how others with CP get around

  • Hey kiddo! I signed up to YouTube just so I could comment on your video.

    Don't let negative people get you down. Keep doing the things you enjoy, no matter what anyone says to you. I think it's great what you're doing, and your positive attitude toward your life is excellent to see!

    Good luck in everything you do, and keep it up! :)

  • lol kid u made me laugh not in a bad way but good for u for keep makeing videos gl

  • don't let the haters get to you, Tom.

  • you are amazing. i am doing an assignment on CP and you have taught me a lot. you keep up the great work of teaching people about CP. well done.

    thanks

  • By the way, if you haven't heard of him, do a YT search for "Steady Eddy" who is an Australian comedian with CP. His favourite joke goes when people asking him when he's going to stop telling disabled jokes. His response is "when they find a bloody cure". I'm sure you will relate to and thoroughly enjoy his humour.

  • Hi, Tom.

    I've worked with a lot of CP sufferers and have yet to meet one who was not a highly intelligent, warm and caring person. As usual for you, this video is calm, rational and informative. As a complete computer illiterate, I have found a couple of your videos already that have helped me a lot. Keep up the good work, and don't neglect your physiotherapy. It's important, even if it is painful.

  • dude you are aewsome i have cp as well i used to get that same comments at school and wen i got into secoundary school i droped out coz it got so bad and when i got into college and i did art and music and thats were i found my confidence so just rock on

    collette 19 f uk

  • How dare people make any negative comments about you! your video content is top quality and i really enjoy it. you are an inspiration to me truly. i hope u get the partnership award!

  • dude your a great and talented kid. you post videos to teach and give. keep them coming, also, your a true genuis!

  • awesome video, keep it up tom!

  • As a person with CP for 28 yrs I am glad I came upon your videos and Keep up the Good Fight I have started a channel to inform people as well as my other channel. Keep it up.

  • keep it up champ, you are the man!

  • Hi Tom,

    I really enjoyed your video and you are such a strong boy, im glad you posted this video as it has helped me to understand the spastic cerebral palsy as my 2 year old daughter has this too and it has given me an insight into it. You are a very intelligent boy and i'd be proud of you if you were my son.

    All my love, Rosslyn.

  • It's a good thing you spoke out about your conditition because it shows you don't care for people who post hate. It takes a man to do that so well done :D

  • I loved your video. You made me laugh. You are such an awesome guy.

  • I really wouldn't give them the satisfaction that they actually got to you. I really wouldn't. I think it takes real guts to do what you do and it takes a real man to lay the cards down on the table and face the music. The people that know you, know you. The other people don't matter. Your reviews are meaningful, you have meaningful intelligent contributions to a community who listens.

  • Tom the bottom line is that along with the constructive criticism that you accept, you need to also acccept that there will always be those people who arent as grown up and mature as you are, and it makes them feel manly and tough and superior to make a completely safe and anonnymous glib remark about you so they can feel better about themselves. Seriously, just ignore it and laugh it off. You have a real future in IT or security and god knows what else.

  • Tom, You have explained this a number of times and it's in writing in multiple places. The people who are interested in what you have to say and what it is that you do will keep an open mind and not shut out intelligence, even if it is from a younger person, or whatever their hangup is....

    Dude this is one of my favorite vids from you. I laughed so hard. Your so tough man. And your so right as well. I'll be honest I have a few computer certs and every now and again I learn something new.

  • i have cp to dude i 17 keep goig dude

  • omfg i have come to a conclusion that those people that are so awful on ur commenting board are disgustingly gross and wretched!! yay ok now thats settled ur ahmazing!

  • i'm 17 and have cp too. thanks for stepping up and speaking your mind, because you're right, many people make stupid comments, and they need to think before they speak.

  • aloha tom, i hear u.. i'm 40 and i also have cerebral palsy as well. back then, as a child.. people were so mean that made me cry. even today, there's a few people out there still react same way as then.. but i held my ground and tell them i'm one of you.. a son, a brother, a cousin, an uncle, and even a father.

    tom, keep smiling, be yourself, and be a happy light.. trust.. people will see the bright kid that you are. :)

  • I am going to teach a college course this week about cerebral palsy. I plan to use your video as part of my presentation!

  • I have to say...I have cerebral palsy...and I am very proud of you. I admire the fact that you are informing others about cerebral palsy. Keep up the good work!

  • Please blow off those negative comments. Block the user, then delete the comment. They don't know you and they have no clue on how to interact with the human race.

    Thank you for sticking it out. I'm sure you have bumped into idiots in real life as well. I'm sorry you have to waste time (blocking and deleting) on them here as well.

  • showmaster, you are shit

  • note: my last comment was towards the user "theshowmaster" not u tom

  • you can talk...the only words dat come out of your mouth "theshowmaster1223" is shit

  • your a good kid Tom, i think your a very intelligent boy... other people who make fun of you are just people trying to be cool... keep up the great work

  • Tom, you rock. Sincerely bud, you are excellent.

    My son has Cp too. x

  • one thing you can do tom, it to just block and then remove the mean comments and dont feel back if some one says something mean to you they are not nearly as smart as you. =)

  • By the way... Just remove the bad comments and block them. No holding back. No second thoughts

  • I don't know why people make fun of you when you're quite intelligent. You can afford things that other people want. They are jealous. I enjoy you're videos and I'm subscribing.

  • I think the reason some people pick out the differences in others is because it is a ego boost for them. Clearly people who actually take the time to post hateful comments need to work on their self-esteem. Making fun of someone, I think, is also a subtle way of trying to understand the other person, in Tom's case, trying to understand his disability. Issuing insults is a very lame way of expressing an inflated ego or some sense of guilt, but sadly, that is the only way some know how.

    -Am

  • For the most part, some people are creative in offering criticisms while others intend to say one thing but end up saying something completely different. I think for the most part, constructive criticism isn't as easy as it may appear, so in an effort to offer said form of criticism, the author becomes frustrated and spits out the first thing that comes to his/her mind. Some people; however, seem to think that by calling Tom a retard will somehow undo his disability, and all will be well.

  • Tom I'm a neurology resident in Toronto studying CP and I have to say go on you man for putting yourself out there. Well done!

  • Reported :). Expect to be suspended for your inhumane comments,

    EMZ=]

  • Throughout your life you'll find that every single person has their own weaknesses and their own strengths. Those who exploit another's weakness, are in fact insecure and weak minded. As I've seen in this video. Your ability to identify your own weaknesses and embrace your strengths, should teach those that disregard your disability a lesson.

  • Don't worry dude, I think you are great and I appreciate every single video that you make. However, it was great for me to get a more in depth insight on what exactly Cerebral Palsy is, I thankyou for that!

    I think its great everything that you do Tom, you really do help a lot of us fokes out with your informitive tech advice. Its obvious that you know what you are talking about and I admire your willingness to stay on youtube knowing that you are helping others.

    Great Video Buddy! :)

  • 5 stars. You're really helpful. Thanks for all the information.

    Love ya

  • There are so many of us who are intellegent enough to look past the physical limitations. You are so smart and so helpful. Please ignore people who can't take the time to reallt listen to you. I look forward to the great information you supply. Your videos are very well done and I would change them. That is why I am subscribed to you and I listen to all your videos. Keep making vidoes and KEEP YOUR CHIN UP AND A SMILE IN YOUR HEART. You are a good guy, remember that!!

  • Hi Tom,

    This is a wonderful video; very informative. Thanks for sharing. - Your effort and strenght to go on despite the nasty comments is a true inspiration to us all. I am honoured to have friends like you because you are proof that anything is possible if you put your mind to it. - Where there is a way, there is definitely a will.

    Keep up the great work as always.

    Regards,

    Am

  • Oops... reverse the last part: Where there is a WILL, there is definitely a WAY. :D *Turns red in the face...*

    Regards,

    Am

  • "...my nerdiness, so to speak" So to speak??? You are a nerd, ya little bugger! :D

    On a serious note, I forgot to ask: What's the weather like in your neck o' the woods? It's nice and chilly here in Toronto, Ontario... 'Can't wait for the summer! :-)

    Take care, man...

    Am

  • don't stop, never give up

  • I was nearly going to cry then, the fact some people can be so mean about physical things no one can help. It makes me exceptionally angry as well. I'm so glad, Tom, you haven't let these comments effect you, you are very strong, most people would of quit, but you're clearly very determined, which I admire :). The video was also very informative, since I knew very little about the condition and had only seen bits about it on TV.

    I hope you never stop doing your videos!

    EMZ=]

  • Good for you

    Your videos are very helpful and people shouldnt make fun of you

    keep up the good vids, 5 stars
