Eight months after telling the world about Greyson's autism diagnosis, Jenni, 33, talked about the little boy's progress and how proud she is.
"He's honestly the best, and I think at that time of his diagnosis, it was October, so I think I had to leave the dude ranch to go to one of his diagnosing appointments literally in the middle of the night," the star told ET of the doctors' appointments she would sneak out for while filming season three of Jersey Shore Family Vacation.
"It's like, a four-part diagnosing at the hospital, and at that point I was OK with it, and I just wanted to get to where I am today, where he went from non-verbal, not even knowing his name, to today, where he's attempting full sentences," Jenni said of her son who she shares with ex-husband Roger Mathews.

"He has a personality — he's really just leaps and bounds. He's come so far with all his therapies and stuff," she said before mentioning the importance of spreading awareness about autism.
"My biggest thing with the platform and Greyson is — and I know a lot of people that try and deny it or brush it under the rug or just not speak about it — speaking about anything, especially autism, can break the stigma," JWoww explained. "That's my biggest thing that I want to do right now, because there is such a big stigma, but there's also a big population of kids getting diagnosed."
"I just want to make the world a little less harsh and more sweet, so when he goes to school there will be less critics and more people that want to help and understand what it's like to have autism. So, that's my goal," the star added.
