"My son is a 20-year-old young man who is on the autism spectrum," Kerrisimo said. "He is VERY high functioning and graduated three years ago from high school and last year graduated from college with honors."
"I may not be the cool mom but I do listen to him and what is of interest and important to him," Kerrisimo explained. "Parenting any child you try to find ways to interact with them."
