And now Tom is a WSM champion. Not going to lie im crying alittle right now. He won today.
Yes!!, I wasn’t crying someone was cutting onions close by that’s my excuse
And again
2x, baby!! 🌶🌶🌶
Let's goooo Tom!!
These 3 brothers are going to make history now that Harry is training!! I cried too!!
So happy for Tom to have placed 2nd at wsm. Didn’t realise he is autistic, I hope he can be an inspiration for people
Edit: He won WSM! Congrats Tom. I should now say I hope he can continue to be an inspiration for all.
He is, indeed.
After you find out then watch Tom it’s quite obvious he will 100% be wsm at one point
Specifically he's got Asperger's, pretty dure Tom ha s meationed it in one of their vlogs before.
Man he's number 1 at a lot of events, hope he can work on his grip and come out stronger next year
Hope?... HE IS!!!
Now I understand why Luke is so proud of his "lil" bro. Did not know this. You can see the genuine proud in Luke's face. What a great older brother, and what an incredible example Tom is!
Yes it adds an extra layer of meaning when you see Luke by Tom's side supporting (often screaming for lol) him and encouraging him and how he's proud and wants him to do well. I may be wrong, but I sometimes think that Luke gets more joy out of seeing Tom do well than himself.
@@stuarcari i think so too :,)
Well done talking about autism lads. I have 2 kids with autism.
@Duke of Istria a vaccine is something that prevents something like this from happening to your child smh
@@DuskBringar as a nurse I'm pretty sure vaccines don't cause nor prevent autism cause it's caused by problems that are not pathogenic in nature like complications during delivery , pregnancy period and genetic issues relating to the nervous system.
@Duke of Istria not a fact at all. Just because some kid had autism before it was visible and was diagnosed with it, took a vaccine and years later his autism is visible isn't because of the vaccine.
@Duke of Istria Yeah and billions of cases where they don't. Don't try to put the blame on Science, when it has saved billions of lives through the ages. Those that develop autism after a vaccine are just inherently genetically weak. Oh and thanks to Science their blood line has lived and continues to live to this day else they would have been wiped out long ago with their shitty genetics. It just takes a stronger disease to crumble their poor genetic code just like with people who have survived polio, small pox, sars, covid19 before there was a vaccine created because of...stronger genetics. It's that simple. Just look before 1960 what was the world population, birth rate, death rate and standart age of people in different countries.
@Duke of Istria you do realise symptoms of autism don't show up until 2-3 years old at the earliest, which happens to be after their first vaccines, but guess what, correlation does not mean causation, if you dont know what that means i will be happy to explain to you, but do not claim your incorrect opinion to be backed by evidence when you don't take this into account.
Also, you clearly know nothing about autism if you think your child potentially dying of a disease is a better fate than living with any amount of autism. In a hypothetical world where your opinion was the case it is obvious that any decent person with any semblance of morals would much prefer an autistic child than a dead one.
If you prefer the opposite then i aswell as any other mentally sound person am absolutely fucking disgusted by you and your lack of empathy. I have autism myself, and i will admit it sure as hell isn't fun, but it sure beats dying as a damn kid because of coldhearted ignorant neglect, cunts like you are why people like myself have to deal with so much bullshit, now go fuck yourself or educate yourself instead of holding onto your biased and severly misguided and immoral opinions.
What a legend Luke Stoltman is, When his bro wins WSM it will be as much of a win for Luke as it will be for Tom.
He's in a huge lead rn
Haha speak of the devil, he won WSM!
@@robertyang4365 fuck yes, I knew it, well deserved, buzzing for the Spicy bros
was thinking the same thing. absolute legend. gutted brian didn't clinch his 5th but tom winning it was even better.
Man, who's cutting onions out there? You boys are both true gems, absolute champions in life!
As the parent of some one with Autism I can't tell you how much it means to us to see things like this. Autism doesn't have to be a curse it can be a beautiful gift. My son loves every one , wants to help every one , wants to be a part of every ones success. We fought schools , teachers , counselors , every one tried to tell us this or that about him ,,, they were all wrong. Today he works for St. Joes Hospital as a Cardiac Care Rehabilitation Specialist , has a beautiful home a wonderful fiance , and he's my hero.
Damn, such nice words !
My 2 year old is autistic. We have only jus noticed as he won't talk and he won't make eye contact much. Watching videos and seeing these comments mean so much 🙏
@@alexferguson9856 Bless you all. Dr Temple Grandin if you have never had the pleasure of reading her books or going to her seminar's do yourselves a service and look her up. She herself has autism and brought so much light and understanding into our lives at a time when we really needed it , is hard to put into words. Good luck on your journey as a family.
What a story. Thanks for that.
And now hes the worlds strongest man.
Wow only just watched this. Honoured to be mentioned and so proud to a tiny part of Tom’s progress 🙏🏽. People don’t realise how far he’s come. Great work as always team Mulligan
You should be really proud knowing that you were involved in Tom's journey to success 👏 👊
Now he’s king of the stones Matthew, good job buddy, love from Newcastle England 👍
I remember Tom's first time in the gym like it was yesterday. This tall skinny guy with glasses, hardly said anything. Now look at him, confident, famous worlds strongest man. 👍💪
@@TheShawnMacDonald - tall, skinny guy with glasses, hardly saying a word. That's Harry now! If Tom's progression is anything to go by, I expect in the coming years the three Stoltmen will be a force to be reckoned with in the Strongman world
@@L_M_C OH YE! Harry is going to progress rapidly, as you can see on the stoltman RUclips his is already doing very well. He has got the drive. These boys will be a legacy and everyone in the world will remember them as gods.
Luke is definitely one of the most amazing brothers in the world; so supportive and proud of his brother
Luke
they both are ...... but for luke to be so kind and supportive is wonderful.... most brothers i know hate one anothe r:)
@@stubo4960 I follow them but always get there names confused 😅
@@sarahprowse1194 totally abit like any and dec
So proud of Tom but even more proud of Luke for being an amazing brother and human
As someone with autism and was the exact same when i was younger and still a slightly to this day. Seeing tom doing what hes doing is inspiring. Its got me taking exercise and weight training way more serious although i dont go to a gym. My goal is to make it to strongman to compete against him.
Your the man tom 👊
Lol I mean luke!! 😰
You also mean "you're".
I’ve said it on another video, but I literally just want to thank Tom for showing the world that we aren’t weird, we’re just different. And thank Luke and the whole Stoltman family for supporting him and helping him ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm on the spectrum. For Tom to overcome all the changes and chaos at the WSM this year and perform so well nothing short of amazing. "Normal " people can never understand many make their assumptions about autism though. Congratulations Tom.
As someone who's also on the spectrum, I can't second this hard enough.
And now Tom just became worlds strongest man. Amazing!
The combination of hearing a big brother's loving words about his little brother and the music naturally set me off crying.
I have so much overwhelming respect for Luke and Tom. Both are inspirations in their own ways.
Tom is by far one of my favorite human beings on this planet. His will to fight and go on each day is extraordinary. Keep lifting and train hard. Watching Luke when it comes to Tom, makes me wish I had a little brother to keep an eye on.
Best brother in the world
Congratulations Tom!! The transformation we all have watched over the last few years is amazing. Early on Tom was very quiet and reserved in the videos. Now he is right in there having a blast with it. The love you have for Tom is beyond question. You both are so humble and genuine. It is always a joy to watch your videos. Thank you and stay spicy!!
You boys make me feel the full pride of being scottish!!! Inspirational🙏💯👌
This is a great piece luke you can see how much of an inspiration you are to Tom and that special bond you have together will never be broken
True inspiration from the Stoltmans. Both are strong outside lifting stones and everything else. Luke is awesome, and a blessing to Tom. Tom has came a long way since they started the channel. The world needs to see this.
Tom might be the world’s strongest man,but this bond of a family is stronger
Damn, that’s why they’re always together🥺
I have such admiration for Luke watching different videos about the care and love for his brother is something I always see and think they don’t make men like this everyday.
My daughter is autistic and this is a great example for her to know that she is not limited by her condition. Thank you!
Congratulations Tom on winning world’s strongest man 2021!
Just shows how amazing ANYONE can be no matter what they get dealt in life. Amazing.
From childhood autism to 2021 WORLD'S STRONGEST MAN. Congratulations Tom Stoltman. And all respect to his wonderful, loving brother, Luke.
Hate that autism is seen as a 'learning disability' when in reality its amazing and very misunderstood. Love to see the love between you guys. 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
My son is autistic, he is 4 years old. After all the diagnosis, we agreed that we are not going to get a formal diagnosis because we don't want him growing up as that boy with autism. As soon as people find out someone has autism, their attitude towards them changes and we don't want that. We want our little boy to be a 4 year old, not a 4 year old with autism. I'm hoping we made the correct choice, your love for your brother is beautiful.
Hi, I'm not trying to say your choice is right or wrong but if you haven't already you should consider his future as a grown man with autism first and foremost. Many adults with undiagnosed autism feel completely alienated in societies because they don't fully understand themselves, their place in the world and why people can't relate to them entirely or why they can't relate to others entirely. Often the struggles faced later on in life when you are independent are worse than the struggles faced early on, particularly if you haven't had the opportunity to challenge them earlier on and develop the capacity to manage them. I understand your position on people treating you differently when they know you have autism but in some cases that may be easier than your autism being almost invisible to yourself and others but still affecting you nonetheless.
I wish you and your son a pleasant future!
@@user-gv4nt9xu8e I appreciate the concern, I honestly do. We made this decision with his doctor. His "Autistc traits" were reducing with each visit to the doctor, if they had not the doctor would not have been happy to not give a diagnosis. We are always welcome to reopen his case at any time in his life if he changes. The school are aware of his needs and so are we, so if we do see him struggling, we will definitely revisit it :)
I have autism and ADD.
At the start i also didnt want to be the guy with autism.
But i did get diagnosed when i was 16 because I wanted it myself, i noticed i was not "normal" and my way of thinking was different so i wanted to know why i was this way and the diagnosis really helped me accepting who i am. The first few months i didnt tell anyone because i was ashamed but after i started telling my friends. They all kinda didnt want to believe it which made me feel really good cause finally this teenager felt like i was just like the rest :D People might have thought i was kinda a weird one sometimes but thats was it. I had good friends, no one bullied me for it and i got along fine in school. I was just a teenager and not "that guy with autism"
Ofcourse its your son his life in a different country than i grew up, but in 2020 having autism isnt really that big of a stamp anymore i have noticed, and i thought id let know lol sry for the wall of text (ofcourse some school will have dickhead kids in it who will still pick on people but thats everywhere)
@@DontGood Don't be sorry, it's great to hear other peoples stories. It's worth noticing my sons traits are very minor or minimal on the spectrum. He has improved ten fold over the last year. When he's at an age where he can understand and is still struggling I will explain everything to him, but at the moment he is flourishing. When he began nursery he had extra help, but he no longer receives this due to it not being required. I think this is very situational but appreciate your comments/thoughts regardless. Have a good evening.
I was utterly gobsmacked when I found out Tom is autistic, based off of their videos I never would’ve guessed. It actually is interesting to see Tom come out of his shell from the beginning of their channel to now.
I hope that Tom may inspire other autistic people out there and show them that the sky is the limit!
Thank you for talking about Autism, as a mum with a four year old with Autism l know how difficult everyday is. You grow a very thick skin to all the tuts, head shakes, looks & comments people give you ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
Some people are so amazing that there aren't words to explain it. I'm astounded. How I didn't hear of this before now is painful. Just amazing. Made me cry. ❤
Straight from the heart Luke it's amazing how everything turn out for Tom he is really someone to look up too 👍💪
Luke you and your family are inspirational , what a great big brother you are .
You must be all so very proud of Tom .
The world's strongest man has raised awareness about autism.
Tom is a true hero in every sense of the word for many of us 😎
Wow gets you choked up the luv these brothers have and the progress for both men obviously Tom with his Autism but with his family and what they go through I have huge respect for both but especially Luke a legend of a human being and strongman
I have an autistic boy who lives upstairs from me. What Tom has accomplished is so very impressive, a Champion on many levels.
Congratulations Tom and Luke, my son is autistic with ADHD and epilepsy and to see Tom bring it to the fore and for people to take notice is amazing ! His thing is swimming, 64 lengths three times a week till the Covid took over. He misses it so much ! We are Scottish and proud to be so. Here's to next year's WSM win for Tom !!!!!!
always full of emotions.. THANK YOU for being so genuinely nice guys. overcoming struggle and hardship but coming out/trough with hearts of pure gold and always touching when you talk about your journey. love y'all
What an incredible inspirational family and example of how it should be. The worlds second strongest man has the worlds strongest Brother for sure 🙏
Luke doesnt just lift heavy weights. What an older brother he is. Everybody needs one like him. 🙏
I'm glad we got to hear from both of Luke and Tom's stories. People that don't understand how autism affects people with it can learn more about it, and teaching people who have it to learn how to overcome it.
These guys are amazing!! Met them last weekend, and were just lovely!!!
Totally love the bond that u & tom have. The pair of u are such genuine guy. Plz never change
Its not just Tom who has a heart of gold, Luke. They're both cut from the best cloth. Imagine mom smiling down on them both now.
Truly inspiring! Both brothers....
Damn dude, this whole description of Tom perfectly matches the description of my brother. Even the train ride. It was a huge deal!
You are a true big brother Luke. And i can see how proud you are at Tom.
Tommy is a true inspiration and Luke is a fucking Saint. Can't wait to meet these guys one day.
Wow I remember Tom's first time in the gym when I used to train with Luke and Matt, I always remembered a massive tall boy with glasses coming into the gym with luke he absolutely towered over me. I remember him being quiet. But such a nice, hard working individual. His head was like a sponge everything Luke and Matt thought him during training he took in so well.
It's amazing to see how far he has come, top man and such a humbling story.
Everyone needs a brother like Luke.
You can't do anything but love the Stoltmans. Honestly I have brothers and their bond is EXACTLY how mine is. Much love and respect for the guys!
Huge respect
He's a role model and inspiration for all, he's proof there's no limit.
What a sweet person you are Luke speaking about your bro like that
This hits really hard cause i went through the same thing basically but never got diagnosed with autism due to it being so hard to be diagnosed. I only wish i had people like luke and his friend cause my life right now will probably be so different instead im a hermit cause leaving the house and talking to new people is so hard that its impossible almost. I have much respect for these guys and happy tom was able to grow and be the great guy he is today.
I abso fkn love the way luke speaks about tom big man got history and you luke have massive part in the person he is ...respect to you both god bless your family
Luke!!!!!!
What a man to have in your corner!
I think the day we see tom and Luke on the podium we all win. To see two brothers succeed like that would be awesome.
This is great, massive respect to both brothers. Luke is an amazing brother!
Great story, great Brothers, this can help a lot of people have hope. WSM 2021 and World's Strongest Brothers 4 ever....
Wow Tom is a real inspiration thanks Luke for talking about it.
What an Inspiration, Tom is a true legend
I have 4 children who are asd and this is very inspirational for them thankyou x
Incredibly touching, well done gents!
Luke is the best big brother of all time and big Tommy is a wonderful human. Their mum must have been amazing for these two to be who they are now.
It's amazing how so many in the strongman community are just such genuine nice guys
100% inspiration the both of those awesome brothers .
I didn’t know he was autistic bc he has a great personality
bruh you can be autistic and have a great personality, lots of people have autism...
@@blast_away yes you r correct. To be clear I said nothing to imply otherwise. I was complimenting him.
@@nodabot "because he has a great personality", it was a statement of ignorance as if people with autism have horrible personalities usually. nothing wrong its just about educating urself. all love
Really glad for Tom at WSM and Luke two great man appreciate all the videos
Never knew any of this. So glad to hear it tho. Makes yalls legacy that much better! Can’t wait to see y’all take first next year!!👍🏼👍🏼
Tom is an inspiration. I have started a bodybuilding journey.
It’s bone chilling when Tom is about to do a big lift and you can head Luke cheering him on louder than anyone in the arena! That’s what big brothers are for!
You can take everything from them, but there is one thing you cannot take and that is the pride of the Stoltman brothers. With respect from Holland
Awesome Tom!!
I had tears of joy when uncle loz and auntie liz announced Tom was the World's Strongest Man. Never been into a sport as much as strongman. All the lads that compete are top fellas. So proud of Tom and Luke on their achievement. 🌶😁
Tom is lucky to have such a great brother be cool to meet you guys both and sit down to a drink or 2
luke stoltman is one of the biggest legends going, love you too tom
Over the last year I have got very fond of these lads. Props to your parents. I'd hate to be around if you were not taught manners. Well done Tom on second place. Keep it spicy 🌶
This is awesome boys. I have a son with autism. Truly inspiring.
Love the brothers ❤
I always thought it was kinda sad how the focus was so much on Tom and thought it was merely because Luke is getting older and not competing at the same level anymore (not that he's not ridiculously strong) but now knowing Tom's story that shit is insane. Goes to show two things:
1. every human being is capable of greatness
2. You never know peoples struggles so don't assume anything.
They both are an inspiration!
doing scotland proud boys!! big respect
You men are true legends wonderful interview
Can't wait to see Tom lift that trophy and he deffo will, but luke stoltman you are the champion, because i know you would rather he won then you. Your the man, BIG TOMMMYS GONNA BE KING OF THE WORLD.
I can't wait to see this in full
so great to see this, i had no idea, .. i have a step daughter and 2 kids of my own all with autism, its one of the most difficult things to deal with day to day, honestly its really hard work, but i wouldnt have it any other way.
Both these boys are legends and true impiratiosm to myself and many others
Even though tom has austism but remember God gave him strength and power to fight through it and became the world's strongest man he is truly loved by all and blessed with a good heart ❤
These are beautiful people.
In fact, all of the wsm are amazing caring human beings. It's rare to see so many top level athletes so fucking cool. Just amazing.
Lifting a round stone of 286 kg to a platform - Eh no big deal!
Missing mum - F***ing big deal.
Did not know this and could not really tell from the many videos I've seen.
autism can be a super power when you have the right people encouraging you. i have high functioing autism and have been lifting weights most of my life now and its the best thing for anyone with autism to do as a therapy. im glad the brothers are open about it as so many celebs who are blatantly autistic hide it as they dont know how the publice will react.
Very personal stories fair play to you both 👍
Real fuckin family right there boys
Awesome video💯👊👊👊👌👌
I see the brothers making new world records in their future
LUKE, you're an angel!
Great vids. Wish the sound was louder. Specially for questions.
