They're Not Giving You a Hard Time. They're Having One: Understanding Autism from the Inside Out

Autism looks different in every child, every classroom, and every community. In this keynote, Jennifer Kaufman draws on fifteen years as an autism school principal and her personal experience as a grandmother of a child with autism to help audiences understand behavior as communication. Whether you are a grandparent, educator, or community professional, you will leave with practical tools, genuine insight, and a framework for responding with confidence instead of confusion.

Attendee Results:

  • Understand why behavior is always communication and how to respond effectively
  • Recognize the difference between defiance and dysregulation
  • Develop practical strategies for supporting individuals with autism in real-world settings
  • Shift from frustration to empathy without sacrificing structure or accountability
