Jenni ‘JWoww’ Farley has been candid about parenthood, most notably about navigating her son’s autism treatment. Greyson, 3, was once non-verbal and had trouble understanding communication, but has shown vast improvement since beginning treatment.
Greyson, who was diagnosed with autism about a year ago, has been working with an applied behavior analysis therapist for over six months, as well as with a We Care Autism therapist.

Farley recently shared a video on her Instagram which chronicles the work We Care Autism has been doing with Greyson to improve his speech and overall communication, both verbal and nonverbal.
Farley has been open about the fact that she fought her insurance company to “get the best of the best… for Greyson.”
As a result, Greyson went from getting several hours of therapy a day, several days a week, as well as speech and occupational therapy to getting 30 hours a week of ABA.
In addition to the increased treatment, Greyson’s ABA therapist Steph also goes to his preschool a couple of hours each day to work with him directly.
“These guys changed my life and changed Greyson’s. I am a huge believer in ABA therapy,” Farley shared in her latest YouTube video where she shared details about Greyson’s health.
Farley proudly detailed Greyson’s significant strides over the past year. “Going from not acknowledging your name or being able to sit for literally 30 seconds to doing – I can’t even explain it,” Farley said. “I can’t wait to show you [his progress] by Christmas. He should have event more of an update ‘cause of how fast he’s been shooting from the hip.”
“I don’t know, I feel like you’re just taking over the world one day at a time,” she told Greyson during the video.
