    Shame on the people who disliked this and especially the person who made a cruel comment "he'll never find a girlfriend so what's the point". Whoever you are, you are very misguided. Tim is a wonderful human being who is driven and smart. Why wouldn't he find a girl just as special? Your superficial sense of being is a waste. You have a lot to learn from Tim. It's people like him who inspire others.

    I don't think I've seen a comment section of people so miserable. Here's probably the happiest dude in the world, has a family restaurant, AND he's an accomplished athlete, all while being handicapped. And still, some people have to make asinine comments. It's pretty disturbing how awful some people can be. But hey, I'm sure this guy has heard it all before. What I love about truly positive people: they know how to stay positive. Not like Tim has anything to prove with what he's accomplished anyway.

    LOVE THIS.
    Working with a lot of people who have down syndrome, they're great people, they're smart people, they're happy people. You see past the syndrome and see them as an average day human being because they put their mind to anything and achieve it. This guy is an inspiration to me as well as it should be to anyone. He's a human that achieved his dream.

    I was really hoping that I wouldn't see awful, horrible comments about this guy and that maybe people can be decent human beings. I was disappointed as usual. For everyone who chooses to attack others for following a dream, shame on you. It makes me sad knowing that shitty human beings like yourselves exist.
