Jennifer is here to offer insights from her book, “Grandparents on the Spectrum: A Journey from Both Sides of the Desk.” Jennifer speaks to the people who are closest to autism but often feel the least equipped – grandparents who want to help but don’t know how, and first responders who need practical tools, not theory.
