The proud dad is being ultra supportive of his son during his journey.
“I want to be affiliated with autism for the rest of my life. I want to be in charities. I want to be, whatever I can do to spread awareness, to help financially, physically, mentally, I want to be a part of it all. I feel like this is a sign from somebody that I need to be a part of this world, and I want to help out other parents. I want to meet other parents,” he added.
Jax is also making sure to remain patient as a father while giving his son a good upbringing.
“It’s tough for parents, it really is, especially when you see other kids, you know, progressing a little bit further than your son and you’re like ‘Why? Why aren’t they understanding?’ It can be a little frustrating, but I know he’ll get there. He’s just taking a little longer. That’s okay. He’s doing great and, like I said, we are doing everything to make his life perfect, you know?” he said.
