Is ‘Teen Mom 2′ Jenelle Evans’ Son Kaiser Autistic?


Teen Mom 2 star Jenelle Evans is certainly no stranger to fans weighing in on her parenting skills, as well as every other aspect of her life. For the most part, a large number of these Teen Mom fans have nothing but bad things to say about how Jenelle parents her children. SheKnows reports Teen Mom 2 fans have turned their attention from Jenelle towards her son. With a recent fun and harmless picture Jenelle shared of her son, Kaiser, lining up all of his toys, people began to leave comments questioning whether or not she was aware of the behavior being a sign of a child being autistic.

Just yesterday, Jenelle posted a picture of her son playing with his riding toys. Jenelle took the picture because she thought it was cute he had lined up all of his riding toys. According to the Instagram users leaving comments on her page, the picture she has taken and shared is proof her son is autistic.

The comment section of this picture is littered with individuals telling Jenelle she really needs to get him into speech therapy and an expert for early intervention should see him. The commenters go on to discuss how concerning it is that he does not speak. There are even some commenters who question whether or not she is a negligent parent for not getting Kaiser therapy sooner.

Fortunately, not everyone leaving comments on the picture Evans shared only have bad things to say and advice to give. There are plenty of people leaving comments shaming those who are labeling the boy as autistic. Some of the defensive commenters are pointing out the fact that none of the people commenting even know the child on a personal level and do not have the right to criticize Jenelle.

“I would be more worried that he can barely speak and he’s over two years! This little boy is over 2 years old and sounds like a 12 month old with the one syllable utterances. He needs early intervention, period. (I am a speech therapist.) There are quite a few red flags with this child that any professional can see.”

Autism is a spectrum disorder that manifests differently for each and every child. Technically, lining up toys is a sign of autism. However, a child lining up toys does not translate into positive proof the child is autistic. SheKnows goes on to criticize the fact that so many people are labeling this child as autistic because they barely know him. Lining up toys is typically one of many behaviors a parent notices when deciding a child should be evaluated for autism.

SheKnows goes on to argue that there is no way any of the individuals leaving comments on Instagram or other social media platforms could know the child well enough to confirm whether or not he is autistic. Only Kaiser’s mother spends enough time with him to decide whether or not she should be taking him to have him evaluated for autism.

Since the pregnancy rumors revolving around Jenelle were finally confirmed, Evans began lashing out on social media about how horrible the Teen Mom 2 fans were regarding her pregnancy. According to Starcasm, Jenelle believes social media has ruined her.

It was a police report following a minor automobile accident which finally revealed Jenelle was, in fact, pregnant. Rumors has been spiraling regarding her pregnancy for a while. Her pregnancy was confirmed around the same time her co-star from Teen Mom 2 – Chelsea – announced her pregnancy as well. Jenelle angrily took to social media about how unfair it was for people to criticize her and praise Chelsea for the same news.

Is it possible Teen Mom 2 fans are stepping over a line and offering too much advice to Jenelle Evans? Or, could it be possible this Teen Mom 2 star should have her son evaluated to see if he has autism?
