This episode, Ausome family, was one that left me shocked! But it also gave me more to think about; perspective about the current state of Caregivers, and what IF this theory has evolved into today?
Definitely take a listen and share your thoughts!
I love you all!
It's finally summer time Ausome family! I hope you and your family are enjoying the weather and all the "feels" about summertime (Will Smith & DJ Jazzy Jeff in the background, lol).
I'm happy you decided to join me today, as I talk about Pennsylvania's "Yellow Dot Program", and how YOU can get your Ausome loved one enrolled.
I also wanted to take this time to speak man to man to those Ausome Father's out there. I hope you receive me and my message as another layer of Transparency.
I love you all!
Hey Ausome Family,
I'm not sure how this episode escaped my radar, but this is A MUST, for all my Ausome Fathers (and Mothers) to listen, and receive! I had an opportunity to sit an talk to my brother Joe about Faith, and my navigation through it.
I hope this invokes some deep conversations, thoughts, and growth.
I love you all!
Ausome Family!
I hope you enjoyed your Ausome holiday weekend. It's officially the start of summer, and I've been getting a lot of questions regarding what is the difference between OVR/ODP (Naughty by Nature playing in the background :) ).
PA residents of our Ausome community. If you don't know what the difference is, and when or if you can utilize their programming, this is an episode you should listen too.
As always, I love you!
We are back with another episode. The 2024 Autism Fathers Conference was AMAZING! Listen as I go over some of the highs and lows of the conference, and planning for the 2025 conference.
I also wanted to touch on the options of OVR (Office of Vocational Rehabilitation) and ODP (Office of Developmental Programs) for our "Ausome" loved ones, briefly and the importance of "Power of Attorney" and "Guardianship.
Make sure to have your pen and pads ready!
I love you all!
Hey Ausome family! I hope everyone has been well. It has been a minute since I've been able to publish some new content, and I wanted to apologize and make it up to you all. I have been "sitting on" these two episodes for the past month, but they are so full of "rich" information, and perspectives, that I had no choice but to share them. Not to mention, I was able to get Shayne on the Mic :)
I hope you enjoy!
I love you all....
On March 11th, the news and media rang of a death in Apple Valley, California. 15-year-old Ryan Gainer was shot and killed by two California deputies. Ryan Gainer was an Ausome young man, who is gone too soon.
This was a VERY emotional episode for me, as I have a 15-year-old; soon to be 16. On March 11th, I lost a child; we ALL lost a child.
Please listen and share!
I love you all
Ausome Family, welcome!
I'm so happy to be back in the studio, addressing some things that are important to our community. On this episode, I wanted to talk a little about Governor Shapiro's 2023/2024 Budget, when it comes to families and individuals with Autism or an Intellectual Disability. Is it enough?
And, I have an exciting event coming up...Tune in to hear about it, and how YOU can be a big Part of it!!!
I love you all!
Hello my AUSOME family. It's your host Jamiel ("J"), and I wanted to sit and talk with you about something that normally doesn't have a seat at the dinner table... and that's sexual abuse! I recently had a training class about the signs, and identifying sexual abuse in our Neurotypical children, and I started to wonder what that looks like in the Neurodiverse community and the statistics are STAGGERING!!
Make sure to pull up a chair, get your coffee or favorite drink, and let's chop it up.
I love you all!
Ausome family, I hope everyone is enjoying the snow (Don't complain, it's been two years since the last snow fall, lol). Join me as I take a deep dive into the new legislation that was passed by Governor Shapiros office, as well as the PID (Pennsylvania Insurance Department).
And as I give insight to another look at life through Shayne's eyes after having our weekly conversations. As always I love you all!
Hey Ausome family!
Happy New Year; 2024. Well, I wish we could start on a "good" note, but we have to address the challenges, to make sense, learn, and make do for the good! Sit and listen as I address these two topics that I have been dying to talk about.
As always, I love you all.... and even you Mrs. K :)
Hey Ausome family, it's a wrap for 2023, and I'm looking forward to a successful, prosperous 2024 with YOU! Listen in, as I wanted to talk a little bit about my year, and some words of encouragement for us all going into 2024......
I love and appreciate every one of you.
Thank you
Hey Ausome Family. Happy Holidays! I can't believe that Philadelphia has hit another "First" milestone!!! Make sure to sit back and listen as I go over what this means for you, and I, as well as the city of Philadelphia. You know I also have to give my two cents about this amazing accomplishment, and also I touch on the transition to Adulthood mindset; NOW!!!
As always, I love you ALL!
Happy Holidays my Ausome family! It's your boy "J" , and I'm happy to be back behind the mic, and talking to you on some topics I have encountered both Professionally and Personally. Today's two-part episode is speaking on the topic of, FC (Facilitated Communication) & AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication). Have you ever heard of either one of these? Have you ever used any of these? This might turn some heads after hearing about each one of these tools!
Sit back and enjoy the conversation. As always, give us your thoughts, concerns, and comments; email us at Theausomeshow@gmail.com.
I love you all!
Hey Ausome friends! What a year it has been. I have to say sorry for being absent from the platform for so long, but it hasn't been in vain! I have been out in the field doing great things Professionally, and personally with myself and my nonprofit organization called Ausomeness Inc. I am also happy and blessed to announce that the show is back on online radio at www.whiz-radio.com every Saturday at 9 am. Check out this latest episode as I challenge your thinking as an Ausome individual to think about AI (Artificial Intelligence) and Health care... It's coming!
Ausome family, how have you been? It's that time of the year; Autism Awareness Month! Shoutout to all of my Autistics, Advocates, and caretakers. I appreciate and acknowledge YOU!!!!!
Unless you have lived of the grid in the past 8 days, you have seen that the CDC( Center for Disease Control) has released NEW Autism prevalence rates. Wellll, let's just say I don't agree with this "finding" all together. Tune in to here my take on this new development, but also as I speak about employers so called "lack of quaility" employment candidates, SMH. This is an episode you don't want to miss any second of. But I also want to hear from you. So make sure you drop a comment, concern, or request to Theausomeshow@gmail.com
I love you guys!
What an AUSOME way to bring in Spring! I had the absolute pleasure of interviewing Andrew and Jomaira Ortiz; Co-founders www.rootedheartsminitires.org . Can you believe that these two AUSOME parents have made it their life's passion to Advocate, Educate, and love on each and every Autistic individual in the world with their non-profit organization and AUSOME FREE SENSORY BOX! This interview really talks deep into the thoughts of both Andrew as an "Ausome" father and Jomaira as an "Ausome" mother, and what it takes to stay positive, and keep their family together. Make sure you listen to the very end of this episode, and also support the Ortiz family and their ministry.
You can follow them on all social media platforms, as well as at www.rootedheartsminitires.org. Don't forget to order your free sensory box today on their website as well.
Love you all.....
I was waiting ALL week for this interview Ausome family. I had the absolute pleasure of speaking with Kerwin Yarde about his amazing platform "Father. Son. Galaxy", and his even more amazing family! This was an AUSOME interview where we talked about Star Wars and Star Trek, as well as talked "shop" about Autism and his personal connection with our community. If you're not a fan of Star Wars or Star Trek; or just maybe a fan of one, you definitely want to listen to this episode :)
Make sure to follow and support "Father. Son. Galaxy" on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and by checking out their website at www.fathersongalaxy.com
What a year already for us here at The Ausome Show. And with growth ALWAYS comes education. In today's episode, I wanted to speak to a stakeholder in the Autism community that could give me a perspective that I could never attain. I would like to introduce the AMAZING, AUSOME, Zoe Darazsdi. Zoe Darazsdi is a mental health counselor with nearly a decade of experience empowering neurodiverse people. In that time, she has helped countless teens and adults to navigate the challenges and gifts of living with a unique brain. Her practice is trauma-informed and guided by Adlerian counseling theory and disability rights activism.
Zoe’s work is supported by her own autistic self-advocacy and the professional research she conducts on autistic peoples’ experiences in counseling. When Zoe is not counseling, she is writing, kickboxing, and playing with her dog, Beezus.
A MUST LISTEN TO THE VERY END!!!!!
Today's episode is nothing but PROOF that WE Neurotypical individuals THINK we know it ALL. And we are sadly missing the mark. I had the absolute pleasure of having Mr. Khylil Robinson on the show to talk about being a man who is Autistic, being an Autistic man from the Black and Brown community, and his perceptions and experiences about Transition programs, and where organizations are dropping the ball...
Make sure to listen to the absolute end, and don't forget you can always chime in by leaving a message, comment, or your concern at Theausomeshow@gmail.com.
