Jacqueline Laurita Twitter: 'RHONJ' Star Shares Candid Video of Son Nicholas
Jacqueline Laurita shared a new candid video on of her son Nick working with his speech therapist.
Posting the video on her Who Say account, The Real Housewives of New Jersey star gushed about her son's progress, as she continues to educate herself and other about children with autism.
Using her social media platform as a way to raise Autism Awareness, Laurita also took to her Bravo blog to discuss her son.
"During the filming of Season 4, our son was regressing in his milestones. I didn't bring attention to it while filming, because we didn't have a diagnosis or even a treatment plan in place yet. I didn't want people speculating on what my son's issues were, so we decided to keep it quiet until we had an actual diagnosis," she wrote.
"It was a very difficult and devastating year for our family. I think you all have witnessed how I kept breaking down. I cried a lot that season. I still cry when I get overwhelmed at times, but it makes me stronger and ready to take on the next challenge.," Laurita added. "Soon after filming Season 4, my son was diagnosed with Autism as we had suspected. It was heartbreaking."
The RHONJ star admitted while there are some set backs, Nick has been progressing really well.
"As a parent, it is my job to bring out the best child that my child can be and to love him for whoever he is. If I have to push him a little harder now while giving him the tools that could help make his future a little easier for him, you can bet I will do just that," she wrote. "I believe in him and my efforts are paying off. Nicholas is progressing! "
