Tony Mantor: Why Not Me ? · Grandparenting on the Spectrum: Jennifer Kaufman on Autism, Family, Acceptance, and First Responder Training · 22 Jul 2026 podcast

When you compare what you see at school with what you experienced with your grandson, what are some of the misconceptions that really stand out to you? voice-verified

And what do you encounter most often that you wish people would take more time to learn more about? voice-verified

How do you feel that your book relates to people versus other books that are just about autism, especially where you're really pushing it towards the grandparent side? voice-verified

You've got a broader pattern now that's happening because more and more people are finding that autism is growing. voice-verified

I don't believe it's growing. voice-verified

I think it's just we're becoming more aware of it and we're becoming more clinical. voice-verified

So there's a reason why we went from 1 in 100 to 1 in 31 is because we've gained knowledge. voice-verified

And when you gain knowledge, you are able to see more things and understand them. voice-verified

So what do you feel that connects the grandparents in ways that other grandparents might not connect because they're starting to get that lived experience of what autism is? voice-verified

is that they don't feel alone anymore one of the most common things i hear is when a young set of parents have a child they find out the child is autistic they are so afraid because it's the big unknown they don't know what it is they probably don't have any communication with other autistic parents and now they're thrust full force into the autistic community voice-verified

How have you found the grandparents where they're in a very similar situation? voice-verified

Like you said, they feel like they're alone. voice-verified

Have you found that the grandparents feeling that way? voice-verified

Have they mirrored what their kids feel? voice-verified

Or do you feel a different approach from them? voice-verified

Now, you've been a teacher, you've worked with autistic kids, so you're a little bit different, but I still feel this is a good relative question for you. voice-verified

How is this journey with your grandson now that he's been diagnosed autistic? voice-verified

How has it changed the way that you might have perceived autism? voice-verified

And then how has it changed the way that you see people? voice-verified

So what matters most now? voice-verified
