Jenni 'JWoww' Farley's son has autism The 'Jersey Shore' star has revealed that her two-year-old son has been having speech problems and was recently diagnosed with the developmental disorder. Thanks to attending co-therapy sessions, he has been making big improvements with his speaking issues. He's non-verbal [but he's making] positive, positive development! He has co-therapies [every] week but we're going to step it up a notch soon and get him ABA treatments, speech therapy. He's made leaps and bounds when it comes to speech. The television personality finds it "heartbreaking" that Greyson struggles to interact with other children: including his own sister Meilani. It was really heartbreaking and frustrating as a mom when you see other two-year-olds that are speaking and living their best life... It's just a challenge and it's getting him to hang in with Meilani which is the biggest challenge.
