Abby De La Rosa shares an emotional breakthrough in her son Zillion's autism journey, whom she shares with Nick Cannon. Read on to see how this small step brought big joy.
Abby De La Rosa is celebrating a warming milestone in her son's journey with autism. On Sunday, August 18, the radio personality took to her Instagram Stories with a touching moment, revealing that her 2-year-old son Zillion made another huge "verbal breakthrough."
Back in April, Abby and Nick Cannon, Zillion's dad and father to Rosa’s three children, shared that Zillion had been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. Abby has continued to update fans on both the good and challenging days of raising a child with special needs. Zillion, along with his twin brother Zion and their 21-month-old sister Beautiful, are Abby's light in life. Despite the challenges of raising a child with ASD, she chooses to stay positive and grateful, often sharing sweet moments with her children on social media.
In the video, Abby holds Zillion in her arms and says, "I love you," while her son, to her delight, responds by saying "Zion," the name of his twin brother. It's a moment that might seem small to some, but for Abby, it was a monumental step forward in Zillion's development.
“No one talks about the challenges of having a child with special needs,” Abby wrote across the video, offering a glimpse into the emotional rollercoaster she experiences as a mother. “Some days are good, others are so, so hard on my mommy heart, but yesterday we had another verbal breakthrough!”
In her Instagram Story, Abby continued, “I like to always record Zillion when we play just to see if I catch anything, and yesterday for the first time I caught him saying his brother’s name not once but TWICE!!!! (Emotional Emojis) Thank you, Lord Jesus!!” One could feel the happiness of thankfulness in the words, epitomized by the great love and hope she has stored in her heart for her son.
