She’s a good mom, but a shit stirrer and always puts her nose in everyone’s business and she’s aggressive towards people for no reason. I still enjoy her though she’s an OG. But I can see why people don’t like her.
I guess people are annoyed by her, by the way she was on the show, but those things aside, this is a woman who is also a mother, who loves her children, and is giving her son the best care ever, which is totally different than JWow on the show.
horsegirl107 exactly. You took the words right out of my mouth. Alot of people don't like her because they believe she is "JWoww" all the time. The show is scripted to a point & people forget that. Her & all the castmates play a role to an extent. I absolutely love her and she is an amazing mother for both of her children! Greyson has come so far over the last year and she does everything to make sure he gets all the proper care he needs!
@JJ Moon ABA stands for Applied Behavior Analysts it’s 1-1 therapy. So kids will always be one on one with their therapist. Some kids might only have 1 but some might 5 therapist depending on hours and days for ABA. ABA focus on positive reinforcement
@@jesimoon7378 ABA therapy is good fo anyone! It is not only just for individuals diagnosed with Autism! It's a science of behavior, it's used with lots of different people!
Bailey Verardi But to someone else, a parent going through it, it might be a miracle to them. We can clearly see he's getting interventions/therapies, etc.- but that could be the way someone feels about it. Nothing wrong with that....
My oldest was diagnosed with asperger's Syndrome when he was 4. He is now 19 and is in his second year of college. It's been challenging over the years, but it does get easier...
Jenni, I was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome at 10 years old but i showed symptoms at 3. It’s been a long road with many ups and downs. Now i’m 21 years old and I’m going to college for theatre! Seeing these videos warms my heart because the way you interact with your son is so amazing and even reminds me of me and my mom going on the journey together. It’s a long road, but the end result will be incredible and it’s possible Greyson could change the world! P.S. Love Your Show! Kyle Burgess
That is amazing. My 17 year old nephew has Aspergers and I worry how he will transition into the world after high school. He doesn't really seem to grasp the concept of people being manipulative. I worry but my sister has been looking for support to help adjust to life after. God bless
This brings me to tears. My son has high functioning autism and graduated high school in June. He decided not to do college because he has trouble with crowds. He had a job interview today and he got it. His job coach said he did well. Well he really opened up when they started talking about basketball lol. He knows his stats.
congrats on him getting the job :’) my brother has autism and he can barely stay out the house for a few hours without getting overwhelmed. i’m happy he’s able to work and enjoy his life
Fathering autism is an amazing channel that can teach anyone on what goes into ABA therapy these are amazing teachers that more people need to know about🙌
Wow, Jenni seeing Greyson’s accomplishments has brought back so many memories. My daughter was first diagnosed with being Autistic was at the age of 3. She was able to read at the age of 2, she could memorize a song after hearing it 3xs (Eminem was her favorite). Because he was mine, lol, and that’s all I listened to. No one believed me until the came to my home and saw it 1st hand. She was so smart I thought I had a genius for a child. Until she started to show signs of Autism. Rocking all the time, covering her ears, having meltdowns to the point she was biting herself. She wouldn’t wear shoes at all. She hated the feeling of them being on her feet. She didn’t like to be touched (hugs kisses holding hands, and forget about doing her hair). Anyway, my daughter is now 10, and she’s on the principals list, straight A’s, wears Shoes, let’s me do hair only in a messy bun or a ponytail(but it’s progress, not perfection) She used to be scared of Escalators, she finally took one and loved it, she pet a shark at our local Aquarium. My point to this long post lol, is our kids have accomplished so much in such a short time in their lives and it’s great. We both have a lot more challenges coming for them but have Faith girl. THEY GOT THIS AND SO DO WE! It’s definitely exhausting but it pays off at the end to be a little tired. Love you Jwow!!!! And Greyson your awesome dude keep it up little man make mommy and daddy proud!
Missy OmarGoshFam this reminds me of my 5 year old boy he was diagnosed with autisms last year and he has memorized every rap on tupacs album because i play it all the time❤️
I know they're just words, but to say he was "diagnosed as" hurts my heart a little. Please use the word "with" instead of "as." Because your boy is more than his diagnosis.
JOHN 3:16 I took it as constructive criticism. It’s new to everyone involved and the wording is tricky and I would want to know the correct way of saying something than risking offending someone.
My husband is in the Army and one of his soldiers has aspergers. He tells me all the time the kid is a genius and everybody loves him because he's the perfect soldier. Any task that he is assigned he gives so much effort which is something many people lack. He did have to come out and tell my husband that he had aspergers because at first they thought he was defiant in not trying to make eye contact and all that. But once they knew it was not him being rude they were able to understand that aspect of him.
@@CinCimma so did I . I edited and reworded the statement. I in no way look at him as his diagnosis! He Is Reign. Aspergers is apart of him but not all of him.
Registered Occupational Therapist here and she is definitely an involved and amazing parent..which is hard to come by sadly..many parents expect the therapist to perform miracles but the real magic is implementation into the home, carryover is so important..so i love seeing a parent who is on board and willing to continue/contribute the plan of care. May god continue to bless Jen and her family.
I’m actually tearing up watching this. His progress is incredible, what a special, beautiful little boy. Jenni, you at the definition of an incredible mom. Because of you, your little boy is going to have the best start into the world. I wish you all the luck and happiness! X
I do ABA therapy with kids with autism and holy shit you’d be amazed at how well ABA work. It takes a lot of patience to work with children on the spectrum but there is nothing more rewarding when you see these kids succeeding.
I just love how much he has advanced. I am raising my niece after my sister passed from cancer and she has MERLD. It has been such a long road. You are doing awesome!!
ABA therapists are miracle workers. Best thing you can do is receive as much assistance as possible. My son started with 40 hrs a week ABA non verbal at age 3. Now 10, he is top of his class and down to 3 hrs a week ABA. Its a long process but its evident you are informinng yourself and doing whats best for him. Great job mama! ❤
My son is shy and he also has a speech delay around us he talks a lot he says words but not as much as a kid he’s own again but when we go out in public or to my moms house he babbles like if he was still a baby so that’s how I know he’s shy
My uncle said it’s ok mija he will talk when he’s ready and enjoy it becaus winces he starts talking he won’t shut up I am telling you my son didn’t talk in till he was 5 now he’s 18 and that cabron just won’t shut up that’s what he tells me I am like ok tio
Renee my girl is 2 and she’s doing speech therapy, she does understand everything in English/ Spanish but I guess chooses not to talk? I don’t know but I now agree with you and is true , everyone learns at its own pace.
@Tami Gorman, I do know that they diagnosed him with Autism... thanks for your condescending comment. My point is they thought my son was also, but he turned out not to be. Sometimes doc just give you a quick answer... That's my point :)
Jenni I was bawling my eyes out watching your little boy. He is truly amazing. I'm blown away at the strides they are making in Autism. God bless you and Roger for putting your children first, and all the other bs put aside. You're good people and people are so quick to pick on people on tv . I wish your family love and all the luck in the world.... ❤
I cried so much! My son was diagnosed with Autism he’s 22 months and we just started ABA 3x a week OT and Speech, he was recently evaluated by the psychiatrist and increased ABA to 5 days a week and we were just approved for 4th day waiting for that 5th day. My son in 4 weeks has already showed I huge improvement with therapy he can sit longer now, started stacking blocks this week .. still non verbal but he started making letter sounds! I’m so happy to see greysons improvement gives my family hope! 🧩
Im a Behavior therapist and love how much awareness you're bringing!! Hes grown so much and cant wait to see how far he will keep going with the services!! :) you're doing great mom!
sandy powers I’m a BT as well!! And it’s soooo satisfying to see not only people showing awareness but also progress because i know how amazing it is as a BT when my clients show tremendous progress
I'm always in absolute awe of parents of children with autism and their OTs. The patience and love they display really makes me heart feel warm. This video is beautiful❤️
Because some people don't know what ABA actually is. They have an archaic view of what it was in the past, and so judge ABA based on that, but that's not what ABA is now.
Actually it's because ABA when it first came about was very aversive where it would be extreme hours and forcing sitting and blocking stimming. A lot of older individuals on the spectrum are very against ABA because of this. ABA is now very play and natural environment based.
Justin, You cannot overcome autism....there is no cure. Those are the spectrum learn skills and learn to adapt to their environment making them more successful in life but there is not one known single cure just like there is not one known single cause. Masters in ABA with emphasis of autism and a whole semester on Autism.
Because some people don't like to see children being abused, ABA is abusive, masking autistic traits is harmful & can damage your mental health, but that is exactly what ABA teaches to mask autistic traits, this child would have developed naturally in his own time.
I love seeing Greyson's progress! I'm an ABA therapist and it's amazing how much the children can develop when given the right opportunities and support.
My oldest son is autistic he's 17 now and I'm so proud of him. Haing in there momma he's different but definitely not less. You got this both of u. I left florida and came back to Canada for my boys treatment. Just keep reminding yourself to keep at it. You will get there. Hugs :-)
Aww I’m glad he’s doing well. That little face he made when she took his screen... but then he went right back to work! No tantrum or even whimpering. What a sweetheart he is. I wish him all the best in his progress. Great job Jenni & Roger too (& all of Greyson’s helpers too!)
You’re so lucky my son has been on ABA waiting list for almost 2 yrs I’ve took it upon my self almost 3 yrs ago to start my own ABA therapy w him I homeschool so he’s with me 24/7 he was diagnosed at 4 and didn’t say a word until 4.5 he finally said his name Now he is a chatter box He’s 7 yrs old we still have some delays with communication such as understanding simple things like stranger danger and not running in front of cars ect he fears nothing knows no evil or ugly He is brilliant in so many ways but struggles with things like letters numbers and words if they are written on a different color page or in a different way He’s amazing also is a wiz at games and electronics The ugly side of autism is so damn real it’s heart breaking sometimes but I’m him coach and parent and cheerleader Team Noah 🖤
Hi Amanda! I work with autistic adults, and I recommend that you pick a color that he’s comfortable with. Certain colors can overwhelm an autistic person. It depends on the person. Perhaps, you can make flashcards to help him memorize his letters. He can begin memorizing them at approximately 1 year or very soon and you can reaffirm this when he starts to speak and tell you the letter back. You’ll need kinesthetic learning for him and pictures so he can associate pictures with danger/ safety.
This makes me so emotional yet gives me so much hope, my son is still not talking and he’s 2 and a half, he’s in extensive therapy 5 days a week for 7 hours a day, Greyson is ADORABLE and I started crying when I heard him say words because I’ve been watching these updates forever! Amazing
The hardest part for my son was the “grey” are in the school system. However, I fought hard to make sure my son was given every opportunity up to high school. All children deserve an equal education. Especially t learn and enjoy it. I love my son.. who is 22 and thriving.
Lady normal kids hardly get a real education so idk what you expect for free if you want better than you need to pay because even normal children don't get a good education anymore if u want good education for your kid u gotta cough up some dough or expect mediocrity
Sydney Arden why do you have to be so rude! She was sharing her experience. Grow up. This video is intended to spread awareness, love and show that there is help available. STFU
This made me very emotional. He’s lucky to be in a family that loves him more than anything and gives him all he needs and even more❤️❤️ Such a good mother👌🏼
I’m practically in tears watching this 😭😭😭😭 Greyson has made leaps and bounds in such a small amount of time! Mama I am so proud of you for fighting for your child!
His intelligence seems to be totally on par with what it should be, just with a speech delay. His behavior seems normal too. Of course I'm just observing from this video, but he seems on a good track.
I honestly got so emotional when we first saw him talking after the flashback clips! Thank you for updating us Jenni, and for letting us be a part of Greyson’s journey. This video was amazing and so inspirational. Sending you all lots of love ❤️
I went through something similar with my daughter, she was born a month prematurely and had underdeveloped motor skills. She was going on 3 years old before she ever said mommy and attended speech therapy for 1 year. It all gets better with time and therapy. She is 6 and half years old and talks great for her age now. Keep up the good work! ❤️
Seeing Greyson master these milestones brings me to tears as a mom of a special needs child I know just how special it is to see your child achieve and kick butt. My son has major speech impediments and was delayed physically and academically.
Its therapist like her. Who really care and have passion for what they do that makes a big difference. My son has cerebral palsy and he has a therapist with passion like her and I have a seen a difference in my son's life since she started helping him. Xoxo
Audrey-Lynn Isabel I learned to talk at age 2 and my brother who at the time was 4, my mother was worried because he couldn’t speak well. He stuttered & he learned to speak well little by little after 5. Everyone is different. Time is key.
J this is amazing. This wasn't available when my daughter was that age . I can't believe the things that are available. Thank you and your doing an amazing job.
What a great therapist! I’m sure that makes all the difference! I’m so glad you did an update! I’ve been wondering how Greyson was doing. Your so strong to share your journey Jenni. Seriously! It must have been really hard a year ago to put yourself out there for the world to judge you! You are definitely helping other parents by sharing your story
He’s such a cutie pie. I love these updates. Such an incredible little boy with such an incredible support system around him. He’s so smart. Thank you for showing us this part of your life.
This makes my heart feel amazing..❤️ Currently dealing with my little brother about to turn 3 in a couple months, and just learned he has moderate autism. He’s still not talking or using the bathroom, but we pray every day. Seeing this makes us feel like we aren’t alone or like we did something wrong. Thanks Jenni.❤️ & you’re doing great, he’s so smart!
katelynne quick ur not alone and you did nothing wrong it will get better never give up hope because your child is special and blessed he will get there in his own time always encourage him and he will be fine
He’s improved SOOOOO MUCH I just watched his video where y’all went to the doctor and he couldn’t even talk he barely understood his own name and now he knows his mom and daddy name it’s amazing that he’s basically speaking in basically a full sentence he didn’t even understand a peace sign now he’s introducing himself on CAMERA he’s kinda shy but it’s cute it’s breathtaking how well he’s speaking
Being a mom of an autistic nonverbal son I can so relate to what she is going through. I couldn't help but cry seeing her son grow and accomplish more. She is a strong woman, she isn't what she was first looked at when she was on jersey shore. She is a amazing mommy. Much love and respect to all of us Autism parents out here.
I’m so glad to see him doing so well. My daughter recently was diagnosed with Autism and I’m so scared and nervous for her to start school. Watching your son progress is such a great feeling. It gives me lots of hope.I hope my princess starts talking soon. She will be 3 in 2 days❤️ thank you for posting these updates Jenni!
Alexa E I’m in school to be a Special Education teacher. Make sure you fight for your daughter. You daughter has rights and there are federal laws in place to ensure your daughter receives the appropriate education. It can be tough, but be strong.
Jeni!!! What an amazing mother you are to recognize and obtain the help your child needs!! He’s doing so amazing and he’s just a gorgeous little guy!!!! What a beautiful story! 💖💖💖💖💖
I’ve been going though a similar situation. I wasn’t a fan of the Jersey Shore but this literally won my heart over. I thank you Jenny for sharing because this is the best use of your influential status. Thank you for being open and for giving me hope.
I cried omg shes such a wonderful mother. Ill never understand how people can hate her
people hate her because of the show lol
She’s a good mom, but a shit stirrer and always puts her nose in everyone’s business and she’s aggressive towards people for no reason. I still enjoy her though she’s an OG. But I can see why people don’t like her.
I guess people are annoyed by her, by the way she was on the show, but those things aside, this is a woman who is also a mother, who loves her children, and is giving her son the best care ever, which is totally different than JWow on the show.
Lisa Rose I think she plays a character to a point as well on the show, it’s scripted and she has a roll to play.
horsegirl107 exactly. You took the words right out of my mouth. Alot of people don't like her because they believe she is "JWoww" all the time. The show is scripted to a point & people forget that. Her & all the castmates play a role to an extent. I absolutely love her and she is an amazing mother for both of her children! Greyson has come so far over the last year and she does everything to make sure he gets all the proper care he needs!
This little boy just melted my heart, he's a warrior and a fighter! He will grow up to have an amazing and full life, I'm sure of it.
The flash back of baby Greyson melted my entire heart he’s soooo stinking precious 💚
his chubby cheeks kill me 😩 he’s so cute
I screamed when you said ABA services!! I’m an ABA therapist and my heart is bursting!!!!!
Kamryn what is Aba therapy ? My daughter has a speech delay I'm trying to get her all the help I can.
JJ Moon aba is for children with autism! not necessarily just a child with speech delay

HIS teacher is so amazing at her job!!!
Fun fact for you! Graysons teacher is actually my mom! She showed me the video as soon as it released. Go my mom!
Well one of his teachers at least :)
I can’t believe jenni went from Jersey shore to this.... I’m beyond proud and happy for her!!!!
Gloria Peña truly amazing what kids can bring into their parents lives 😊
Lol u can't think ppl can be on a show and then it ends and then they have to,figure,out how their going to pay bills. This always happens spin offs
Yes, She is a great mom
I can’t believe how far he has come in a year! A true miracle.
Nwad Amazing
It's not a miracle, its therapy! ABA does amazing things for people all over the spectrum!
Bailey Verardi But to someone else, a parent going through it, it might be a miracle to them. We can clearly see he's getting interventions/therapies, etc.- but that could be the way someone feels about it. Nothing wrong with that....
Praise God for all His blessings, a miracle it surely is!
Atina B. Well, she never said she was religious. That's your opinion that god influenced the situation. Not everyone is religious or has to be
“Who’s that?”
“It’s MOMMY”
Oh my god. 🥺💕💕💕
He's so smart & determined he actually counts better than allot of kids I know.
This is the progress jenni fought for. So proud of y’all
"Are you shy?"
"Yes" lol Same, buddy
It's so great to see his growth and him progress
Omg definitely!! He's coming SO far!!
He is so lucky to have a mom like you that fought to get him the help he needed. So happy to see his progress. He's doing AWESOME!!!
I started crying when he was talking he’s come such a long way
I know!! I couldn't believe just how great he is talking
My oldest was diagnosed with asperger's Syndrome when he was 4. He is now 19 and is in his second year of college. It's been challenging over the years, but it does get easier...
So inspiring! My little one is 5, diagnosed at age 2.
My nephew has Asperger's autism also. He's extremely smart. Just an emotional mess
My brother is going to be 21 next month and he has it too. He is incredibly smart!! Congratulations on your son going to college ❤

Jhudsonluv I am a student occupational therapy assistant and this is why I’m busting my butt to help little miracles like him ❤️
Do you have any tips for a late talker? My son is in speech therapy every two weeks and is 22 months im just nervous he is not catching up.
💓
She seems like a great therapist . Glad Grayson is enhancing his skills . Many blessings
I just love how much he has advanced. I am raising my niece after my sister passed from cancer and she has MERLD. It has been such a long road. You are doing awesome!!

I didn’t talk until I was 4! Thankfully my parents got me into speech therapy and now I won’t shut up loool
Sound like my little brother I tell him all the time he need to be a lawyer
Same lol
My son is shy and he also has a speech delay around us he talks a lot he says words but not as much as a kid he’s own again but when we go out in public or to my moms house he babbles like if he was still a baby so that’s how I know he’s shy

Karen Martinez yeah I wouldn’t be too worried but speech therapy does help!
I can’t believe how far he came from the beginning this kind of made me tear up a little bit
My son didn't talk till 4 years old, now 13 he is in gifted classes. Every kid learns at their own pace :)
My son don't talk and another things and he is autistic. 3 and 8 months he has
Mines too she was shy and then now she don't shut up lol love it .

My son in 4 weeks has already showed I huge improvement with therapy he can sit longer now, started stacking blocks this week .. still non verbal but he started making letter sounds! I’m so happy to see greysons improvement gives my family hope! 🧩
Im a Behavior therapist and love how much awareness you're bringing!! Hes grown so much and cant wait to see how far he will keep going with the services!! :) you're doing great mom!
sandy powers I’m a BT as well!! And it’s soooo satisfying to see not only people showing awareness but also progress because i know how amazing it is as a BT when my clients show tremendous progress
This made me cry. True mother. And son love. It's like no other. Way to go Grayson.
She seems like a great therapist and teacher so glad to see he’s made so much progress and has a great mom♥️
He is doing brilliant and props to mom and dad for doing everything possible to give him the best. 💞
Laura Adams Especially the fact that they split up and quit making him go through what they were!
I'm always in absolute awe of parents of children with autism and their OTs. The patience and love they display really makes me heart feel warm. This video is beautiful❤️
I love this!!! I don’t understand how people can hit the dislike button. Smh
Because some people don't know what ABA actually is. They have an archaic view of what it was in the past, and so judge ABA based on that, but that's not what ABA is now.
Actually it's because ABA when it first came about was very aversive where it would be extreme hours and forcing sitting and blocking stimming. A lot of older individuals on the spectrum are very against ABA because of this. ABA is now very play and natural environment based.
Justin,
You cannot overcome autism....there is no cure. Those are the spectrum learn skills and learn to adapt to their environment making them more successful in life but there is not one known single cure just like there is not one known single cause. Masters in ABA with emphasis of autism and a whole semester on Autism.
it is rude heartless ones who do the dislike on any ones
Because some people don't like to see children being abused, ABA is abusive, masking autistic traits is harmful & can damage your mental health, but that is exactly what ABA teaches to mask autistic traits, this child would have developed naturally in his own time.
idk how anyone could ever dislike this video. when he said "hi guys" 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 my heart 😫♥️♥️♥️
I love seeing Greyson's progress! I'm an ABA therapist and it's amazing how much the children can develop when given the right opportunities and support.
My oldest son is autistic he's 17 now and I'm so proud of him. Haing in there momma he's different but definitely not less. You got this both of u. I left florida and came back to Canada for my boys treatment. Just keep reminding yourself to keep at it. You will get there. Hugs :-)
Aww I’m glad he’s doing well. That little face he made when she took his screen... but then he went right back to work! No tantrum or even whimpering. What a sweetheart he is. I wish him all the best in his progress. Great job Jenni & Roger too (& all of Greyson’s helpers too!)
He is doing so well. And you are a WONDERFUL mama!🤗😊🌻
You’re so lucky my son has been on ABA waiting list for almost 2 yrs
I’ve took it upon my self almost 3 yrs ago to start my own ABA therapy w him
I homeschool so he’s with me 24/7 he was diagnosed at 4 and didn’t say a word until 4.5 he finally said his name
Now he is a chatter box
He’s 7 yrs old we still have some delays with communication such as understanding simple things like stranger danger and not running in front of cars ect he fears nothing knows no evil or ugly
He is brilliant in so many ways but struggles with things like letters numbers and words if they are written on a different color page or in a different way
He’s amazing also is a wiz at games and electronics
The ugly side of autism is so damn real it’s heart breaking sometimes but I’m him coach and parent and cheerleader

Amanda Collins I’m a mom with a son with autism 💕
Hi Amanda! I work with autistic adults, and I recommend that you pick a color that he’s comfortable with. Certain colors can overwhelm an autistic person. It depends on the person. Perhaps, you can make flashcards to help him memorize his letters. He can begin memorizing them at approximately 1 year or very soon and you can reaffirm this when he starts to speak and tell you the letter back. You’ll need kinesthetic learning for him and pictures so he can associate pictures with danger/ safety.
💕💕💕💕
This makes me so emotional yet gives me so much hope, my son is still not talking and he’s 2 and a half, he’s in extensive therapy 5 days a week for 7 hours a day, Greyson is ADORABLE and I started crying when I heard him say words because I’ve been watching these updates forever! Amazing
I can’t believe how far he’s come 😭
Oh hey, I know you. Lol. This is amazing!!!!
Greyson is amazing, kicking major ass. ABA Therapist are angels here on earth ❤️
The hardest part for my son was the “grey” are in the school system. However, I fought hard to make sure my son was given every opportunity up to high school. All children deserve an equal education. Especially t learn and enjoy it. I love my son.. who is 22 and thriving.
I feel your love for him....may the universe bless you and your son with safety and well-being
Lady normal kids hardly get a real education so idk what you expect for free if you want better than you need to pay because even normal children don't get a good education anymore if u want good education for your kid u gotta cough up some dough or expect mediocrity
Sydney Arden why do you have to be so rude! She was sharing her experience. Grow up. This video is intended to spread awareness, love and show that there is help available. STFU
Thank you . I absolutely do love him very much. Being alone raising 2 kids by myself was hard. I was blessed and never took it for granted
Thank you . I absolutely do love him very much. Being alone raising 2 kids by myself was hard. I was blessed and never took it for granted
This made me very emotional. He’s lucky to be in a family that loves him more than anything and gives him all he needs and even more❤️❤️ Such a good mother👌🏼
Who in the world would dislike this video he is soo precious
I’m practically in tears watching this 😭😭😭😭 Greyson has made leaps and bounds in such a small amount of time! Mama I am so proud of you for fighting for your child!
His intelligence seems to be totally on par with what it should be, just with a speech delay. His behavior seems normal too. Of course I'm just observing from this video, but he seems on a good track.
I agree. He very much seems on track other than his speech but we just get a glimpse into his sweet little life💚
K Fallon yes but without his therapy he wouldn’t be where he is now..
I agree. My daughter is a clinical specialist and my son is now 26 with autism. I have been around all levels of autism. I see nothing wrong with him.
Aaahh.. im crying.. i love how jenni is so strong for her children specially with greyson..
when he said hi guys that's the first time I've heard him audible at all and i got goosebumps, go greyson!!!
Thank u Jenny for giving us a view of what he has learned I love his voice its so precious..
This is why I’m in OTA school I can’t wait to help kiddos achieve their goals!
jamie17hammond I thank you for that ❤️ god bless you
Carla Lizette omg you’re so sweet 😭
Aww that’s amazing, good luck with your studies
Your AWESOME! 💕
Same!!!
Omg he is seriously so cute and I love that she’s doing the most for him
I honestly got so emotional when we first saw him talking after the flashback clips! Thank you for updating us Jenni, and for letting us be a part of Greyson’s journey. This video was amazing and so inspirational. Sending you all lots of love ❤️
His progress is amazing, everyone that is there helping him daily is doing such a wonderful job!!
The ABA therapist is so good with him. I’m crying!
He's so smart!!! I love how much help Jenni got him and it is paying off.
I went through something similar with my daughter, she was born a month prematurely and had underdeveloped motor skills. She was going on 3 years old before she ever said mommy and attended speech therapy for 1 year. It all gets better with time and therapy. She is 6 and half years old and talks great for her age now. Keep up the good work! ❤️
You’re such a wonderful mom, I wish nothing but the best for you and you’re family.
Seeing Greyson master these milestones brings me to tears as a mom of a special needs child I know just how special it is to see your child achieve and kick butt. My son has major speech impediments and was delayed physically and academically.
My cold heart melted when Greyson said "sea lion".
He’s doing amazingly. This was so emotional to watch, can only imagine how his loved ones feel watching him thrive 😭
Its therapist like her. Who really care and have passion for what they do that makes a big difference. My son has cerebral palsy and he has a therapist with passion like her and I have a seen a difference in my son's life since she started helping him. Xoxo
He is too smart and so young, like how even
He counts with confidence and that made me tear up.
Awe this makes me tear up Greyson has come so far 😭❤️ You’re doing an amazing job Jenni stay strong
I could cry and I don’t even know the kid 😂😭 so much love and positivity sent your way. You are an AMAZING mother. He is lucky to have you
My niece is 3 and we still can’t get her to talk, this gives me hope. 🧡
My friend’s grandson didn’t speak until he was five.
Audrey-Lynn Isabel I learned to talk at age 2 and my brother who at the time was 4, my mother was worried because he couldn’t speak well. He stuttered & he learned to speak well little by little after 5. Everyone is different. Time is key.
Audrey-Lynn Isabel I’m surprised doctors haven’t sent her to therapy? There’s also special ed for toddlers to learn as well
it comes in time my child said maybe 8 words till age 2 and now 6 and talks non stop it all happens some at diff ages
@@aimem.4776 yes some all is time give all littles a new chance at learn
I cried 😭 shoutout to the wonderful therapist, she is meant to do what she does God bless 🙏🏼✨
J this is amazing. This wasn't available when my daughter was that age . I can't believe the things that are available. Thank you and your doing an amazing job.
I am a special mom too. Way to go Jenni. Thank you for being a model got our children. Your strength is amazing!!!
In tears watching this. He's amazing, you're amazing.
I'm an OT student and this video made me really feel like I am heading down the right path.
Angelica Scardino I am also an OT student, we definitely have a bright future and it’s all because of these amazing kids
Thank you guys for doing everything you can to help these children you guys are really special people 💙
What a great therapist! I’m sure that makes all the difference! I’m so glad you did an update! I’ve been wondering how Greyson was doing. Your so strong to share your journey Jenni. Seriously! It must have been really hard a year ago to put yourself out there for the world to judge you! You are definitely helping other parents by sharing your story
He’s such a cutie pie. I love these updates. Such an incredible little boy with such an incredible support system around him. He’s so smart. Thank you for showing us this part of your life.
He put a smile on my face...he’s a little angel...you’re a great Mom
This makes my heart feel amazing..❤️
Currently dealing with my little brother about to turn 3 in a couple months, and just learned he has moderate autism. He’s still not talking or using the bathroom, but we pray every day. Seeing this makes us feel like we aren’t alone or like we did something wrong. Thanks Jenni.❤️ & you’re doing great, he’s so smart!
katelynne quick ur not alone and you did nothing wrong it will get better never give up hope because your child is special and blessed he will get there in his own time always encourage him and he will be fine
Greyson is such a beautiful boy! You are an amazing mom
ABA is an amazing service when done right and I’m happy for you! The sky is the limit! !!
DeLane Perez agreed!!!
He’s improved SOOOOO MUCH I just watched his video where y’all went to the doctor and he couldn’t even talk he barely understood his own name and now he knows his mom and daddy name it’s amazing that he’s basically speaking in basically a full sentence he didn’t even understand a peace sign now he’s introducing himself on CAMERA he’s kinda shy but it’s cute it’s breathtaking how well he’s speaking
Being a mom of an autistic nonverbal son I can so relate to what she is going through. I couldn't help but cry seeing her son grow and accomplish more. She is a strong woman, she isn't what she was first looked at when she was on jersey shore. She is a amazing mommy. Much love and respect to all of us Autism parents out here.
I’m so glad to see him doing so well. My daughter recently was diagnosed with Autism and I’m so scared and nervous for her to start school. Watching your son progress is such a great feeling. It gives me lots of hope.I hope my princess starts talking soon. She will be 3 in 2 days❤️ thank you for posting these updates Jenni!
Its been two days since your comment. Happy birthday to your daughter ! 🧁🍭
Lia Jay thank you!❤️
Alexa E I’m in school to be a Special Education teacher. Make sure you fight for your daughter. You daughter has rights and there are federal laws in place to ensure your daughter receives the appropriate education. It can be tough, but be strong.
Foreign Scammer thank you! I will do that!
When he was saying the names of the animals was so cute !! You doing a good job !!!
His journey is inspiring to watch especially for other moms going through the same struggle. Way to advocate for your child!! Respect.
This brought tears to my eyes! 😭😭😭 how wonderful he’s doing a great job his teacher is AMAZING 😭🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 and you are doing soo great!
Jeni!!! What an amazing mother you are to recognize and obtain the help your child needs!! He’s doing so amazing and he’s just a gorgeous little guy!!!! What a beautiful story! 💖💖💖💖💖
Loving the sensory space created for him! He is doing so well, Jenni! This is so awesome! 😭❤️
“ obviously he has not skipped a meal “
LMAO literally me! but im so happy for you, i wish you all the best🥰
I cried at how well he's done. I commented on Roger's post recently and said he's doing so much better with his speech. Good job Greyson
Love this! I’m an ABA therapist and it’s always great when people acknowledge what we do! Graysons doing great!
I’ve been going though a similar situation. I wasn’t a fan of the Jersey Shore but this literally won my heart over. I thank you Jenny for sharing because this is the best use of your influential status. Thank you for being open and for giving me hope.
