Nick Cannon and Abby De La Rosa’s Son Zillion Going From Non-Verbal to Verbal After Autism Diagnosis – E! Online

Nick Cannon and Abby De La Rosa are feeling like a million bucks.

After all, their 3-year-old son Zillion—who has been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD)—recently learned to say a new word. As seen in an Oct. 22 Instagram video, the toddler sat in a playroom with his mom and a speech therapist as he said “open” for the first time.

“His therapist and I were ecstatic!!!” Abby wrote in the caption, “We’ve been praying for moments like these and boy is god delivering! Our son is going from Non-verbal to verbal right before our eyes.”

She added, “Glory to god.”

Indeed, Abby had an emotional reaction to Zillion’s milestone. After hearing her son speak, the DJ—who also shares Zillion’s twin brother Zion, 3, and daughter Beautiful, 23 months, with Nick—screamed out with joy.

“Baby,” she tearfully told her son in the video, “we’re so proud of you.”
