I'm so inspired by Tom Stoltman's story 
! Growing up as an "outcast" because of his appearance, he could've easily given up on himself, but instead chose to find strength in being different 
. His autism actually ended up being a blessing in disguise, helping him focus and block out distractions while working out 
. And let's be real, who wouldn't want to eat 8 boiled eggs with cheese and mayonnaise for breakfast? 
But seriously, Tom's transformation is a huge reminder that we should all celebrate our uniqueness and not try to conform to societal norms 
. His mental toughness and self-acceptance are truly what make him strong – both physically and mentally 
.

I mean, it sounds too good to be true? A bullied kid becomes the world's strongest man just because his brother introduces him to weightlifting? It's a classic 'rags-to-riches' tale, but what about all the other strongmen who've been training for years without the same 'cheat code'? 
Is it really that simple? And what about the fact that Tom's autism is presented as some kind of superpower? 
I need to see more context and evidence before I buy into this story. Can someone provide me with sources on how common autism is in strongman athletes?
