Summary

Hey Heal Squad! It’s Mr. Maria Menounos today and I am joined by Kyland Young, The Challenge and Season 23 Big Brother contestant and member of the groundbreaking Cookout alliance. In part 1 of my conversation with Kyland he shares his experience with having his late autism diagnosis come and its impact on his life. From his family and peers to realizing there was something different with him before the diagnosis to the relief and excitement that came with the diagnosis at 30, Kyland discusses the challenges and benefits of living with both autism and ADHD. We also go into detail about his experiences before his diagnosis like the concept of masking, the significance of special interests for those on the spectrum, and the power of embracing neurodiversity. You don't miss this captivating conversation about autism, acceptance, and the transformative nature of self-discovery. Come back for part 2 of our conversation tomorrow where Kyland and I talk about everything from alliances, to cancel culture, to the similarities and differences between being on Big Brother and The Challenge.  Healers and Heal-Liners Humans tend to learn social behaviors through osmosis Studies show that 2-2.5% of the population is on the spectrum You should be excited to learn more about you If you’re a realist, and you’re taking in things as they are, then you’ll realize that most things are good HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website: https://www.healsquad.com/ Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com Curated Macy’s Page: Shop my Macy’s Wishlist eHarmony: https://www.eharmony.com OUAI: https://theouai.com/ use promo code: HEALSQUAD 15% off Just Thrive: https://justthrivehealth.com and use promo code: HEALSQUAD 20% off your first 90-day bottle of Just Calm and Just Thrive Probiotic ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos’ passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.
