Jenni “JWoww” Farley’s son, Greyson, has been diagnosed with autism, and she’s sharing an update about the 2-year-old. Farley posted an Instagram video of Greyson on Saturday, and it’s melting fans’ hearts.

In Farley’s video, Greyson wears an Incredibles costume and repeats the names of various colors after his mom says them. “The way he says Yellow makes my heart explode,” Farley wrote in her Instagram caption.

Plenty of fans commented on Farley’s post to note how sweet the video is and to share their excitement that Greyson is talking. “Awesome to see him using his words,” one person wrote. “YAY, GREYSON!” another commented in all caps.

Last month, Farley confirmed to Hollywood Life that Greyson had been diagnosed with autism (though she slammed the magazine for the way it published the news). “He’s made leaps and bounds when it comes to speech,” she told the outlet. “He’s understanding words better, which was his issue. Not that he couldn’t speak, but he would never know what his shoe is or if you said, ‘Greyson,’ he actually didn’t even know his name at one point until he was a little over 2.”

This is @greysonmathews with his amazing ABA therapist @wecareautismservices 💙💙💙 Grey was recently diagnosed with autism. He’s also been in early intervention for over 6 months now and doing amazing 💙 Grey is and will always be my little prince. So to see his diagnosis utilized as clickbait broke my heart and pissed me. His story is too precious, no single article could capture that. The article was suppose to be about my brand @naturallywoww and how Its expanding to a children’s line in HONOR of Greyson and Meilani. @naturallywoww and I will be donating some of its profits to autism organizations that help children like my son… because that’s the only message I intend to spread in my sons name… love and acceptance 💙

In an episode of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation that aired in August, Farley talked about her son’s developmental delays. “My bubbe Greyson turned 2, and he still isn’t speaking, and he has therapy three days a week,” she said during the episode. After it aired, she shared an Instagram message thanking fans for their words of support.

To everyone that tuned into @jerseyshore last night and messaged, commented etc about @greysonmathews with similar stories or just showing love I cant thank you enough. As a mother, I will go to the moon and back for my kids… no question. I live my life differently because of them. To find out Greyson is “behind” or “delayed” crushed me… but only for a moment… that moment came from wanting to have “perfect children” and “how could this happen to me?”… but Grey is PERFECT and it CAN happen to anyone.. I saw that last night when the messages came in by the hundreds. I decided to share that side of my family on Jersey Shore because I want to help anyone going through what I’m going through… I’m sure people need support the way I’ve needed it. Greyson is still in therapy 3x a week… he’s doing a lot better. We also changed his diet and removed unnecessary preservatives. I’ve had almost every test done you can think of because I’ll never accept that this is best case for Grey… I’ll always think outside the box and do anything that will try and help him achieve nothing short of greatness… I don’t sleep much lol. He’s my world and I want to give him the best life… because he deserves it 💙💙 and to my son @greysonmathews.. if you ever see this in the future… you’re mommy might be a bit crazy, loud and dramatic but when it comes to you and your sister… I will fight for you two until my last breath… and continue to fight for you after death… your mommy will hold your hand and stand by your side for eternity 💙💖
