Tyler Strauss

    Tyler has a genetic disability known as Fragile X. This has caused intellectual disabilities that he faces on a daily basis, including sensory and communication issues. He has a heart of gold! He is passionate about basketball and loves to rock out to all genres of music. His favorite music to listen to is rock and you would expect to hear Slipknot coming from his room if you were to walk past.

    Some of Tyler's other hobbies include working out and going to the beach. He used to hate the beach when he was younger but the more he went, the more he got used to it. The triggers and over-stimulation Tyler experienced from the beach when he was younger caused him to not like it. Over the years he was able to overcome that and now the beach is one of his favorite places to go.
