Nick Cannon and Abby De La Rosa are opening up about their son Zillion's autism diagnosis.
In a joint Instagram post Tuesday, "The Daily Cannon" host and the radio personality made the announcement about their 2-year-old son on World Autism Awareness Day.
"Our beautiful boy experiences life in 4D and teaches us something new everyday! His love, strength and brilliance light up every room he enters! We are blessed that God had placed such an amazing spirit under our guardianship and we have accepted this assignment wholeheartedly!" Cannon and De La Rosa said in the caption.

"On this World Autism Awareness Day, we extend our embrace to families worldwide, acknowledging shared challenges and championing understanding. Together, let’s create a world of acceptance and compassion," the pair wrote.

What is autism?
Autism is a developmental disability that affects the way people experience the world. This may include differences in processing senses, thinking, physically moving, communicating, socializing and going about daily living.
“We’re born autistic and we’re autistic our whole lives,” Zoe Gross, the director of advocacy at Autistic Self Advocacy Network, told USA TODAY. “It affects everything about the way we interact with and perceive the world.”
