Following his emotional altar moment with Kalybriah, where she ultimately said “no,” Edmond found himself at the center of TikTok debates and social media diagnoses. Viewers speculated that his demeanor and emotional responses might indicate 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’ve got autism,” Edmond said on the Jumpstreet Podcast, according to The Tab. “Doctors or who are called doctors or therapists are saying I’m diagnosed with things. That’s a little crazy.”
The reality star, who was often labeled “childish” and “not ready for marriage” by fans, shared that while the negativity was difficult to process, it has taught him valuable lessons about grace and resilience.
“If you are not getting judged, I don’t know,” he added. “But I do embrace it. The main thing I’ve learned is that your response is the most predominant thing. You should always respond with love, gentleness, 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 make[s] you grow in a whole different way,” he explained. “This is not my first time being judged, but it’s the first time it’s been so public.”
Harvey reflects publicly on his personal Instagram account ahead of the reunion. On a post he shared on Oct. 24, the Love Is Blind star says, “This experience changed me in ways I never expected. Watching it all back 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.
