00:00And you are thriving and doing so good.

00:02Do you feel like your confidence is 100% back?

00:04I still have some things that I have to work on for sure,

00:08but I feel so empowered and so strong,

00:11and I've got so much support, so I do feel a lot better.

00:14Good.

00:15And you feel like Cruz is thriving even more now that the tension has kind of been like...

00:20The peace in my house is something that I feel like is helping him,

00:25it's helping me, it's helping everything,

00:26because whenever I had to deal with that negative energy every day,

00:31I mean, it was wearing on me.

00:32Yeah, of course.

00:32So he deserves a happy mama.

00:34And it seems like he is thriving.

00:36He is.

00:36He's doing amazing.

00:38And what's this been like for you?

00:39I'm sure you've got so much outpouring of love and support

00:42ever since you talked about his autism diagnosis.

00:45What's it been like for you as his mom?

00:47Yeah, so much love and support.

00:49I really want to be a positive advocate for the autism spectrum,

00:52the whole community.

00:54It is very broad.

00:55There's just so much that I'm still learning as I'm going,

00:58and there's so many other parents that have reached out to me

01:00who I can also learn from.

01:02And I think it's just been so beautiful,

01:04and I really want to help other families and mothers

01:06that are going through something like that.

01:08And I think early intervention is key,

01:10and it is super important.

01:12So if people might see different signs and different things early on

01:16because I'm sharing my story,

01:18then if I can help anybody in that way, it would be amazing.

01:21I love that.

01:21What are some big milestones that he's been hitting lately?

01:23Well, he's starting to say a couple more words.

01:26That's great.

01:27Yeah.

01:28So that's, like, really exciting.

01:30I mean, he is just such a good kid.

01:33He's so happy.

01:34He's always smiling and laughing.

01:36And, you know, he's just catching up in his own way.

01:42And it's beautiful to see because whenever you have a kid on the spectrum,

01:46you celebrate every little milestone, you know,

01:49because you wait for it, and then it happens,

01:51and it's, like, the best day ever.

01:52So I'm so proud of him every single day.

01:54I love seeing him on the show, too.

01:56He seems like your little buddy, like your little cuddle bug.

01:59His mom and boy through and through.

02:01Through and through.

02:01My best friend.

02:02I know you said before that this really hasn't brought you and Jax closer,

02:06but has that changed at all?

02:08Do you feel like since you went public?

02:10Um, no, no, unfortunately.

02:13But, like, Jax does help and want to, like, you know, be there for his son for sure.

02:20Like, Cruz is the most important thing for both of us.

02:23It's just difficult co-parenting whenever you're not always getting along

02:26and things like that.

02:27But we definitely both want to be positive, you know,

02:32especially, like, using our platform for the good to help other people.

02:36So that part is good.

02:37And it's something that we're going through together,

02:40but I've also gone through a lot on my own.

02:43And I'm just always going to be his number one supporter and do whatever I can.
