Jacqueline Laurita is finally coming clean to explain why the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” producers have kept Nicholas off of the cameras up until now. Laurita explained that Nocholas was only recently diagnosed during the taping of Season 4 and that his symptoms started to appear around 18 months.
Revealing that he has autism, Laurita is using the revelation as a chance to benefit an autism charity.
Now, she is hosting a charity event for Autism at the Brownstone called the Sparkle Event. It will include a three course dinner, an open bar and entertainment during the evening. The event will take place at The Brownstone from 7-11 pm on Thursday, September 20th.
The event will benefit Autism Speaks, the nation’s largest autism science and advocacy organization founded in 2005 by Bob and Suzanne Wright.
