Abby De La Rosa Shares Update on Son’s Verbal Skills Amid Autism Diagnosis

Abby De La Rosa provided a glimpse into her son’s autism diagnosis and the moment she knew he was on the spectrum.

The Jersey Shore: Family Vacation star revealed her and Roger Mathews’ son Greyson’s diagnosis in November 2018, which “caused a lot of tension” in her relationship with her now-ex-husband. This practice is called self-stimulating or “stimming.” Abby said she “vividly” remembers her son’s first “real moment of stimming” that occurred in front of both mom and dad. According to the Mayo Clinic, autism spectrum disorder is a condition related to brain development that impacts how a person perceives and socializes with others.
