Show Notes
Discover what’s possible when love transforms grief into acceptance.
Jamiel Owens is the host and creator of The Ausome Show, a co-host of The Ben & Jay Show, and an all-around public server. As the father of a 12-year-old boy with autism, Jamiel encourages other fathers to open up about their feelings regarding their children’s diagnoses.

- What it was like for Jamiel to learn about his son’s autism
- How he’s evolved as a father
- What Jamiel's son has taught him about life
- The challenges of raising an autistic child in the Black community
- Possible solutions that could help improve communication between law enforcement and families impacted by disabilities
