Aubrey Miles and Troy Montero revealed that their youngest daughter Rocket has Autism Spectrum Disorder.

On Instagram, Tuesday, Aubrey and Troy posted a photo of themselves with their daughter Rocket.

In the photo, Aubrey and Troy were seen clad in matching statement shirts that read "Autism Awareness."

"Autism awareness for Rocket. Yes, our Rocket has ASD, Autism spectrum disorder," they wrote in the caption of their post. 

The couple said they "didn’t share this right away because we are still learing about ASD." 

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

The couple said there are some people who might think 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 added.

According to the couple "[a]utism is different for every kid." 

The couple said their daughter Rocket "has the common symptoms" which they also listed down 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.

The couple said they know that "there’s a lot more for other kids I’m sure, but so far these are the things we see from Rocket." 

"Autism is always present, in many ways. There’s no proven reason that’s 100% why kids get autism. It can just happen," they added.

The couple said "it’s possible for first time parents to think it’s the worst thing that can happen to their baby." 

Aubrey and Troy admitted that it "surely can be scary and who knows what the future holds but definitely not the worst." 

"You just need to know where to go, what you’re dealing with, finding the right therapist, the right support groups and lots of love," they added.

The couple said they are "still in the process of learning. It’s going to be a long ride."

Aubrey and Troy said their daughter Rocket is taking Speech Therapy and Occupational Therapy which "is learning activities that she will encounter in her daily life." 

Rocket is Aubrey's youngest daughter to Troy, they have another child named Hunter. 

Meanwhile, her eldest child John Maurie is her son with ex-boyfriend JP Obligacion. 

Last March, Troy and Aubrey got engaged in Boracay after being in a relationship for 18 years. —JAB, GMA News.
