Off of the Autism Spectrum

It's been a lot easier for Diezel nowadays, as he no longer suffers from autism. Previously, his mom was a fierce advocate for autism awareness, as the young man had it since he was three-years-old.

However, ten years later, Toni Braxton proudly revealed that her son was off the spectrum all thanks to the hard work they put in for a decade.

Toni Braxton was one proud mom after her son, Diezel, took home the "Best Young Actor Award" at the Oniros Film Awards for the movie "Ant." On Instagram, she shared:

"Giving praise on this #SONday to my rising [star] @diezel.braxton! He's an award winner #Justlikemom."

At 16 years old, Diezel's career is only beginning, and he's already achieved some amazing things. Now that he's got a lot more time on his hands and the support of his mom, no doubt he'll be able to accomplish a whole lot more in the near future.
