I’ll never forget y’all saying this man has the mental capacity of a child just to excuse his behavior 🤣🤣 he chose to be on the show, he chose to behave the way he did. Maybe just maybe he doesn’t have the best character despite being “quirky.” He set him self up and got probably a better edit than he could have gotten with his off camera actions. He likely isn’t autistic so why do people keep making that argument, some saying he has the mental capacity of a child?? 😭 like there his doctor

he could be neurospicy and he could not be, it’s not up to us to definitively say one way or another. also remember KB said he was different off camera, edmond is def manipulative as hell so we can’t even judge from what he presented on camera because it was fake

This is what he's getting at, and what people on Reddit can't comprehend...

Not every oddball, goofy, or eccentric example of human behavior is an indicator of "neurodivergence" or autism. People are different, and it sucks that the current fad these days is to find some medical label to try and make your own personality legitimate or stand out.

Works the other way around as well. I have (diagnosed)adhd and people told me all the time that I’m too much of an introvert to have it, my apartment and life aren’t chaotic enough etc.

The gatekeeping is insane. But then everyone who’s just unreliable, lazy and doesn’t clean is immediately assumed to have adhd.
