Grandparenting on the Autism Spectrum: Support Without Overstepping

Host Rosabel Zohfeld on Life Unscripted as she sits down with Jennifer Kaufman—a seasoned school principal and devoted grandmother—to explore the unique rewards and challenges of grandparenting a child with autism.

When seconds matter, understanding makes all the difference. In this powerful episode, we sit down with Jennifer Kaufman—school principal, autism advocate, and grandmother to a child on the spectrum—to explore how first responders can dramatically improve outcomes for autistic individuals through training, awareness, and compassionate response.

In this deeply personal and informative episode 210, Dr. Gillian Lockitch is joined by Jennifer Kaufman, a seasoned educator and school principal with over two decades of experience in autism education—who also happens to be the grandmother of a child on the autism spectrum. Jennifer offers a rare dual perspective: professional insights shaped by years at the helm of a specialized autism school, and heartfelt wisdom drawn from her own family's journey.
