Emily Simpson‘s son Luke is thriving like never before.
In fact, The Real Housewives of Orange County star shared a heartwarming update on her 11-year-old’s progress one year after she shared his struggles with developmental issues, including the rare eating disorder ARFID (short for Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder).
“He’s doing much better,” Emily exclusively told E! News at the Bravo series’ season 20 premiere party in Los Angeles on June 30. “He goes to a new school now, so we’ve really found what works for him.”
In addition to making sure Luke’s special needs are met in the classroom, Emily and husband Shane Simpson—also parents to daughter Annabelle, 12, and Luke’s twin Keller in addition to Shane’s daughters from a previous marriage Shelby and Chanel—have also made adjustments at home as they navigate Luke’s anxiety, ADHD and OCD.
“We’ve had to parent differently,” the 50-year-old shared. “He’s completely different than the other children, he has different needs.”
