Fat Joe Speaks On Raising A Son With Autism

April is World Autism Awareness Month, and Fat Joe is helping spread awareness. 

Unknown to a lot of people, Joe had his son at 19, and Joey Jr. was diagnosed with Autism early on, which doctors told him would be a challenge. 

Joe didn't care, and has been an advocate and supporter ever since, celebrating World Autism Day on April 2.

Joe says that it's important that everyone understands and loves people with Autism.

Keep up the great work, Joe!
