Crittendon was best known for appearing on Season 5 of the MTV reality series, which documented her giving birth to her eldest son, Drake, who she had with then-boyfriend Dustin Franklin. Prior to the birth, the episode (which aired April 21, 2014) focused on Autumn’s concerns over Dustin’s maturity and whether or not he was fit enough to be a father. Though Dustin refused to give up marijuana when the baby was born, he did pass a drug test and get a job before the baby arrived. However, the show also showcased Autumn’s frustrations over Dustin’s lack of financial or logistical support for the baby.
