Braxton also gave remarks to Suzanne Wright, 79 the co-founder of Autism Speaks who just passed away recently saying:
'when she (Wright) found out about my son and I she called me immediately and said ‘Get him in this program. Do this, do that.’ She’s been an advocate in helping me so much. I miss her already. I mean, I can’t believe she’s gone.
