As a Father of an 14 year old who is on the Autism spectrum, Jamiel Owens is truly an advocate for his son Shayne and other Autism parents. “The Ausome show ” has inspired Jamiel to take up his space as a dedicated father and activist through his interaction with others and paved the way for his presence as an African-American father of a child with special needs to “speak up and speak out” to and from a perspective that is often silent.  Jamiel believes “fathers’ souls are the key to embracing and truly loving their “Ausome” child.”
