Jacqueline Laurita Reveals Son Has Autism


People.com:
Jacqueline Laurita had tried for years to have another baby, so when she finally welcomed son Nicholas three years ago, the proud mom celebrated his every achievement.

But then, at around 18 months old, Nicholas began regressing with his speech and motor skills, then refusing to answer to his name or notice people enter a room.

"We had no idea what was going on," the Real Housewives of New Jersey star, who hid her son's medical issues from the reality cameras as she continued taping season 4 last year, tells PEOPLE exclusively.

After an agonizing wait to see multiple doctors, the Lauritas got a diagnosis: Nicholas is autistic.
"I worry about him being independent when he's older," admits Jacqueline, who is also mom to Ashlee, 21, and C.J., 10. "I spend all my time researching what we can do for him."

Adds her husband Chris: "You never want to think that your child isn't perfectly healthy. We didn't want to believe it was true."

  11. Jacqueline,
    You, your fine ass husband Chris, and more importantly that adorable Nicoholas will be fine. Stay strong, well informed, and resourceful. Start your services, be patient, and use the IPad and add the appropriate apps. With the diligence of the parents couple with the services and Nicolas's age he will progress and be where he should. Enroll him in daycare/ social group, part-time or full-time. Children learn really well from one another.

    Sincerely,
    Scorpiette

  12. If this bastard had been born during the Spartan civilization, his weak ass would have been thrown off a cliff and left as vulture food. They knew only the strongest should survive, the weak only drained valuable resources from the rest. We would do well to adhere to that philosophy today!!

    4. It's called survival of the fittest, natural selection, thinning of the herd whatever euphemism you care to use. To allocate a disportionate amunt of resources to a nonproductive and minority group of the population is damaging to the stronger members. Life boat scenario, boat capacity is 50 people, but 100 want in. If everyone climbs aboard the boat flounders and everyone dies. Let the 100 fight it out and the strong, determined and smart ones will make it, the rest will perish. That's how nature is, neutral and impartial.

  14. An obvious hereditary genetic trait on the Laurita side of the family. Just look at the 3 morons that Caroline pinched out. The brain power from all 4 of these basket cases wouldn't be enough to illuminate a 15 watt light bulb.

  15. Jacqueline, Chris and family, God Bless you all. Don't listen to the ignorant writings, which I believe are coming from Theresa and her so called friends.
    Do all that you can for Nicholas and he will have a great life, God takes care.
