After his emotional altar moment with Kalybriah, where she finally said “no”, Edmond found himself at the center of TikTok debates and diagnosis on social media. Viewers speculated that his behavior and emotional reactions may indicate that he is on the autism spectrum. But in a recent interview, Edmond made it clear that the armchair analysis had gone too far.
“I've seen all the TikToks going off on me about why I'm on the spectrum and how I have autism,” Edmond said on the Jump Street Podcastaccording to The Tab. “Doctors or so-called doctors or therapists say I've been diagnosed with things. That's a little crazy.”
The reality star, who was often called “childish” and “not ready for marriage” by fans, shared that while the negativity was difficult to process, it taught him valuable lessons about grace and resilience.
“If youare not judged, I don't know,” he added. “But I embrace it. The most important thing I've learned is that your response is the most dominant thing. You should always respond with love, tenderness and care.”
Prime Timer reports that Edmond Harvey described the experience as “challenging, emotional and necessary,” reflecting on how being in the public eye has pushed him to better understand himself.
“It matters[s] you grow in a very different way,” he explained. “This isn't my first time being judged, but it's the first time it's been this public.”
Harvey reflects publicly on his personal Instagram account ahead of the reunion. On a post he shared on October 24, the Love is blind star says, “This experience changed me in ways I never expected. Looking back at it all reminded me that growth doesn't always look graceful — sometimes it's challenging, emotional, and necessary.” He goes on to express how he “showed up with an open heart,” made mistakes, and learned about the type of man he hopes to be.
