Rocket, Aubrey Miles and Troy Montero’s youngest kid, has Autism Spectrum Disorder, according to the couple.

Aubrey and Troy shared a picture of themselves and their daughter Rocket on Tuesday.

Aubrey and Troy were seen in the shot wearing identical statement shirts that said “Autism Awareness.”

They wrote in the caption of their post, “Autism awareness for Rocket. Yes, our Rocket has ASD, Autism spectrum disorder.”

“We didn’t share this straight away since we are still learning about ASD,” the parents stated.

“It was important for us to educate ourselves about it. At first we were confused, and questioned ourselves, how and why,” they continued. “We searched around to for an ASD specialist before anything else.”

Some people may believe that “someone with autism acts crazy, has mental problems, physical issues and other stuff. “

“Yes, it’s mental but not a problem, yes can be physical but it’s not an issue and definitely not crazy,” they stated.

The couple claimed that, “autism is different for every kid.” 

Rocket, according to the couple, “had the common symptoms,” which they also highlighted in their post.

-Delayed speech.

-No eye contact.

-Difficulty communicating.

-Can focus on one thing for hours.

-Repetitive, she does things over and over again like running and flapping her hands Etc.

-If you can say you’re an introvert because your doctor said, then you have to meet a kid/person with autism. Almost like an introvert, can be a loner but never alone.

-She flap her hands when she likes something, another way to address her emotions.

-Cries her heart out like nobodys around. From 1 she can get to 10 real quick. When you hear it, sounds like she’s getting hurt but really she just wants her toy or something that she cannot express.

-Hard time controlling her emotions, sometimes there’s no middle. Happy or sad, Laughing or crying out loud and doesn’t know how to stop.
