<p>After he and wife Aubrey Miles first started opening up about their only daughter Rocket’s autism in 2022, Troy Montero shared in a recent Instagram post just how much he adores his second child.</p><div><br/></div><p>The celebrity couple had previously shared that Rocket was diagnosed with autism at just three years old after showing common symptoms of ASD which include delayed speech, no eye contact, difficulty communicating, repetitive movements, and having a hard time controlling emotions. Since then, she has also undergone hyperbaric oxygen therapy, speech therapy, and occupational therapy. </p><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/2022/4/27/fresh-scoops/aubrey-miles-opens-up-about-daughter-autism-199801" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>READ: Aubrey Miles opens up about daughter Rocket’s autism diagnosis</strong></a></div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-5" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DGuL2sXvqnC/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=607&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A5%2C%22os%22%3A12809449.900000006%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="1203" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-5" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><p>In his post last March, the Fil-Am actor and producer shared more about Rocket’s current condition.</p><div><br/></div><p>“This little girl, my one and only daughter was born on December 14, 2018. She is an absolute sweetheart and a Daddy’s girl. She loves singing, doing puzzles, coloring books, and riding her scooter. When she was younger, she was non-verbal, made no eye contact, flapped her hands, walked on her tiptoes, lined up her toys, and occasionally had tantrums on the floor. At three years old, she was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. A month later, we started her in Speech and Occupational Therapy.”</p><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-6" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/Ccz3jJhBO84/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=607&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A6%2C%22os%22%3A12810295.5%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="1482" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-6" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/people/celebrities/troy-montero-asd-awareness-fathers-day/33188" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>READ: Troy Montero Marks Father’s Day With A New Purpose As An ASD Awareness Advocate</strong></a></div><div><br/></div><p>Troy also shared how his daughter is currently undergoing stem cell therapy and how the treatment has been helping her progress in various ways.</p><div><br/></div><p>“She has since undergone Stem Cell Therapy at EW Villa Medica in Pasay, Philippines, with her third treatment just last week. After her first session, we noticed a big change she began making eye contact and speaking more.</p><div><br/></div><p>&quot;Today, I wouldn’t consider her non-verbal, though her casual conversations are mostly two- to three-word sentences. The best sound? Hearing her say, ‘I love you.’ Another beautiful change is her growing self-awareness. She now expresses emotions more clearly, has a sense of humor, and even a mischievous side. She looks at her reflection in the mirror, something she never did before.”</p><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-captioned="" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/DGNfzIcpH19/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="14" style="background:#FFF;border:0;border-radius:3px;box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15);margin:1px;max-width:540px;min-width:326px;padding:0;width:calc(100% -

Having a child on the spectrum will definitely be challenging but there’s support out there. It’s good to go and hear stories from other parents and share some of your experiences. It is a lifelong commitment raising a child anyway, what more if you have a child on the spectrum? So you just have to hang in there and be strong. Have faith and make sure that you have really great communication with your partner, with the support group and that would definitely help you.</p><div><br/></div><p>&quot;Get ready because it’s not the end of the world. They are wonderful, amazing children and you know, you’ll just be surprised how thrilled and how fulfilled you’ll be over some of the smallest things and the small victories feel so enormous and great,” Troy shared. </p><div><br/></div><p>Troy and Aubrey tied the knot in 2022 after 18 years of being together. They also have an older son named Hunter. Aubrey also has another son named Maurice from a previous relationship. </p>
