Teen Mom: Did Tyler Baltierra Fake His Autism Diagnosis? Catelynn Lowell Responds To Accusations!

Tyler Baltierra revealed a few days ago that doctors diagnosed him with autism. He explained that seeing his daughter show the same characteristics and behavior patterns made him realize that something was going on with him as well. However, since Tyler shared his autism diagnosis, several people have accused him of faking it.

Irritated and fed up with the accusations, Tyler decided to talk about them on his podcast with his wife. Catelynn felt confused about the entire situation and couldn’t understand how people could accuse them of faking their mental health. The couple expressed shock that people have lost empathy and now view everything from a judgmental perspective.

Teen Mom: Tyler Talks About His Childhood Issues & Autism Diagnosis!

On his podcast, Tyler Baltierra opened up about finally getting answers to his lifelong mental health struggles. After noticing similar traits in his six-year-old daughter, Vaeda, he decided to get tested. Tyler admitted that he had dealt with behavioral issues since childhood, including ADHD and hyperactivity, and saw the same patterns in his daughter. That connection pushed him to look deeper, which eventually led to diagnoses like ADHD, bipolar disorder, and now autism.

Tyler described his autism diagnosis as both a relief and a heartbreak. He felt comfort in finally understanding himself, but was sad about spending years believing he wasn’t “normal.” Doctors explained that people may struggle to understand him because he can’t always express emotions clearly. They also told him he scored high in masking, which is common for late diagnoses.
