God, Tom's mother is a real piece of work. Standing right in front of him saying things like "he'll never be able to achieve anything", and ridiculous comments like "this is make or break, if he doesn't change now he'll be like this forever". He's a teenager love, autism or not, that statement is just ludicrous...if that's what she says on national television, imagine what she says when the cameras aren't there. Little wonder he showed improvement when he moved away from her initially. Then she drags the poor bloke to Cornwall, and he again proves her wrong again by making friends and excelling at something he is passionate about. What an awful, awful woman. Could genuinely hear the disappointment in her voice when she was "praising" him at the end for all the good he's achieving. Hope he got away from her. RIP Alex, what a kind soul. It's always the good ones

Alex was such a gentleman, he might have not been recognized as fully functioning adult, but his manners and his unique charm is something not all people posses. I'll say it again, a true gentleman. May your soul find rest, Alex. I was shocked to know the world had lost someone like him so early.

Tom's mum was holding him back and treating him as a baby, good luck Tom in the future 😊

Hi there everybody, thank you all for your kind words over the last two years, it has helped me through some very dark times. I have a bit of a favour to ask: Alex is in my thoughts every single day. At the time of his stupidly early passing, he was working on a story (book) about a sort of medieval A-Team, which was called The League Of Great Talent. I am trying to finish it for him, but I've made him the main character, the hero, and made it so that all the members recruited to the league are Autists (people with different ASD's but that shows in this world as special powers) It's all his world-building and history, background, locations and some characters, but set 100 yrs after his timeline and expanded with the powers and stuff. I was thinking of putting the chapters up on here, to see if you guys like it and maybe give me some feedback on what's right and what's not? It might be a cool thing to try and publish when it's finished. When you think about it, ASD is a superpower! I have the first chapter sort of how I like it, halfway through the second. It'll run to about ten chapters in the first book I think, with idea's for two more. The first chapter is about 6,000 words. What do you think? Is it something you might be interested in reading?

RIP Alex and I was diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome when I was 15 in 2002.

I was so sad to learn that Alex passed away. He seemed like such a smart, sweet young man. My heart goes out to his parents.

I´m so sorry to hear Alex died, he had a very nice sense of humour. I can´t stop thinking about his mum and girlfriend, it´s really heartbreaking :'(

If I met up with Oli, I would be so honored to. He'd be a big help to further be among those I communicated with and talked to. He reminds me of my other friends similar to him who have great knowledge.

I work in autism, I feel so sorry for Tom and his support network is apporling. The negativity from his mum breaks my heart. I wish you all the luck Tom. Hopefully somebody in your life will be understanding the the daily obstacles you have to face and give you some positive support.

I love this I was told my son has autism he is 3 this gives me hope so much hope and if I just push and love my baby he will be fine I'm thankful for this u made my day well my life thank u

Sorry to hear about Alex who died that Year. R.I.P Dude 😢😥

Both my children have Autism, Nothing in life prepares you with how to deal with it, You think its hard until you wonder How hard it is for THEM, I try my best every day to learn and to understand them to make their life easier

The music that’s played when Tom comes on is so sad. I really hope that dude is now doing good. He’s clearly misunderstood and I bet he’d be one of the most faithful friends a person could have.

toms mum needs to learn to give him independence as its making him get frustrated as she's molly cuddling him and he won't be able to grow up if she doesn't xx

@Matt Jameson. As someone who has what your brother has you have my deepest sympathies mate, I can't imagine how hard it must be even three years on and not seeing him. RIP ALEX. Also your mother is like my mother when it comes to me and my Aspergers, someone who is supportive but not coddling me and tell me that they don't believe I have a future, unlike Tom's mum. His mum, well I'm sure her heart was in the right place, was going about in all the wrong way at times. Sometimes they just need someone to be there, but know that they believe in you to make your own decisions and embrace you autism/aspergers, I feel that the fact that I had support and was never held back in anything helped me to become more confident and proud to say I have aspeges and I am proud of it. Anyway, just wanted to say it's very tragic what happened to your brother and I really wish a facebook page was set up so that I could show my sympathy.

I’m exactly like Tom, I have the same type of thoughts he does and he acts a lot like I do. I wish I could meet him.

RIP Alex!!

It is always the best people the world looses, RIP alex

Toms mom is doing more damage than good.

I'm kinda shocked Tom's mom is speaking the way she is about his future, or lack thereof, right in front of him. Poor fella.

RIP Alex :( xxx

HOLY SHIT! I didn't know alex died..... my god! RIP dude!

As parents, it must be so hard… so hard and painful. 😞😔

I'm starting college in September and it may be crowded but I'll be fine

RIP Alex

God bless them ❤❤❤❤🎤🎸

I can see Olli s frustration.

Oli seems so genuine

Tom broke my heart.

What really saddens me in the documentary are the mothers. Ollie's folks seemed great, but Tom's mum seems very manipulative and abusive. I get it must be hard having six children, but she made it out like Tom wasn't capable of doing anything, especially saying he had no future in front of him. Alex's mum didn't seem much better, did she really have to go with her 25 year old son every time he went out? How was he supposed to learn independence, (especially as I think I read something somewhere from Kirsty saying that she made them break up)? RIP Alex, very sad to hear of his passing, hopefully one day they'll do another update documentary with the other two, hopefully their luck changed after this and the first one were made, does anyone know what they're doing now?

The parents seem very negative 38:34 and at 39:01.I would probably slap toms mum. If she was my mum and talked about me like that.

life is hard enough my son is autistic lost his mother 2 years ago she was 53 we are now so alone

My twins are autistic and they will do and be anything they want to be. I love them so much. They can be so funny.

This was great story all they shared but tomy’s Mom are soo rude ...

Alex rip😞

What’s the hoody Tom wears that has all the white pictures on it and safety pins. It’s unusual and cool.

you know toms parents didn't sound like they where good examples for him and his siblings.

Alex is always such a gentleman

Not only does Tom’s mum hold him back by being over protective, she also is completely selfish for moving them all to Cornwall where he can’t meet anyone. She goes on how it’s what SHE wanted, without caring what her kids thought. I’ve worked with autistic kids and it is hard, but she needs to sort out her parenting skills.

Great xx

Tom's mum is a bad parent

rip alex, anyone know if tom is still making music, would like to hear it

toms parents need a slap!

Sorry for this question but what are the signs of Autisme?

wow I think tom has his cats killed in 2018 ?! Thats so messed up if its the same tom from turo..

Toms mother is very cruel

Hello im Brittany i have Aspberger which is an High Fuctioning Form of Autism.,i also have adhd.

How did Alex die?

I had medium functioning autism

Stop backgrounding Hastings with ukulele music ...it's got its charms but it isn't fvcking Blackpool.

These people have brain AIDs I'd be that young man's friend, I'm an aspie, the things we sacrifice for the talents we gain... in this world we are misunderstood hopefully there is a better place, toms mum is strange

There’s nothing wrong with autistic people But I am not autistic I don’t think I am anyway But, you treat everybody the same way you’d like to be treated Always
