Toni Braxton Says Her Son Diezel Is No Longer Autistic

Great news coming from R&B legend Toni Braxton, she says her son Diezel no longer shows signs of Autism.
Diezel was first diagnosed with Autism at the young age of three because Braxton said he wasnt developing at the rate of other children, and she grew concern. She took him to the doctor to see what was wrong, and he has been getting help since then. Braxton originally though that God was punishing her for having an abortion previously, and a long time later grew to accept that that wasn’t the case.

While conducting an interview with Access Hollywood, Braxton revealed the development with Diezel. “My youngest son, as everyone knows, my son Diezel suffers from – or I should say suffered from autism,” she said. “He [has] no signs of autism.”  Autism, orAutism spectrum disorder (ASD) and autism are both general terms for a group of complex disorders of brain development. These disorders are characterized, in varying degrees, by difficulties in social interaction, verbal and nonverbal communication and repetitive behaviors.

The spectrum Braxton is referring to is a medical term used to identify a wide range of symptoms, skills, and levels of disability for those with autism. Braxton is going on tour this fall and the first date is October 8th in Oakland, California.
