  Jennifer Kaufman, a special education administrator, author of Grandparenting on the Spectrum, and founder of First Response Autism Solutions, bringing over 20 years of expertise to families, grandparents, and first responders navigating the world of autism joins eHealth Radio and the Autism & Health News Channels. Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Jennifer Kaufman discuss the following: You've been in special education for over 20 years and then your grandson was diagnosed with autism. Did that change anything for you, or did you feel like you already had it covered?A lot of grandparents come into this with a picture in their head of what being a grandparent in their grandchild's life is going to look like. When that picture changes, it can be really hard. How do grandparents shift those expectations in a way that actually lets them show up better for their adult child?What does chronic stress actually do to the body of a caregiver who has been at this for years and doesn't think of themselves as someone who needs help?You also train police and first responders on how to best support autistic community members. What is the one thing that stops officers cold when they go through your training, and why does it matter to every family listening right now?You wrote a book, you train first responders, you run a school. What do you want the average person who knows nothing about autism to walk away knowing after this conversation? HELPFUL TIPS: If your grandchild or child has autism, get them in the water early. Swim lessons are not optional for this population. Over 90% of accidental deaths of people with autism involve drowning. That statistic does not have to be your family's story. Find a program, find an instructor, find a way. It is that important. The next time a child is struggling in public and your instinct is to wonder why they can't just behave, try replacing that thought with this one. They are not giving anyone a hard time. They are having one. That shift in thinking costs you nothing and it changes everything about how you respond. Jennifer Kaufman has spent many years working with children with autism as a school principal in northern New Jersey. She knows the IEPs, the behavioral supports, the family meetings, and the moments when everything clicks for a child who has been struggling. But a few years ago, her understanding of autism became personal in a way she never anticipated, when her grandchild was diagnosed. That experience changed her. Not her expertise, but her perspective. Suddenly she was the grandmother feeling the same mix of love, fear, and uncertainty that she had watched so many families navigate over the years. She was also the grandmother working to support her own daughter. It gave her something that two graduate degrees and decades of administrative experience could not: the view from the other side of the desk. That is the story behind her 2025 book, Grandparenting on the Spectrum: A Journey from Both Sides of the Desk, which speaks directly to grandparents who want to support their families but often don't know how. The book has connected with readers across the country who finally feel that someone understands their specific experience in the autism journey. Jennifer's advocacy work takes several forms. Through her speaking and workshop program, she addresses grandparent groups, family organizations, police departments and universities, focusing on practical tools and emotional honesty. Through her training company, First Response Autism Solutions, LLC, she works with law enforcement agencies, police academies, and campus security teams to prepare first responders for interactions with individuals with autism. Her trainings are grounded in real experience, not theory, and first responders consistently say they leave feeling genuinely prepared in a way that traditional training never provided. Jennifer has appeared on television and across numerous podcast platforms and is a recognized voice in the autism advocacy community. She holds graduate degrees in Educational Technology and Educational Leadership and is certified as both a Principal and Superintendent in New Jersey. She doesn't approach autism advocacy as an outsider looking in. She has built her career around it, raised a grandchild touched by it, and made it her mission to ensure that the people who love and serve individuals with autism have every tool they need to do it well.

  Eric Kinkel, musician and Founder of Howl Moon Productions, Executive Producer of the documentary “In Search of His Lost Cords,” which chronicles Eric’s journey after brain trauma as he explores emerging AI and advanced technologies to help restore his voice joins eHealth Radio and the Brain Health & Health News Channels. Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Eric Kinkel discuss the following: Your documentary, “In Search of His Lost Cords,” follows your journey after brain trauma left you unable to sing and with limited speech. What exactly happened neurologically, and how did it disrupt the brain’s connection to your voice?Your case raises an interesting question about how the brain translates intention into speech and singing. What have you learned about that brain-to-voice pathway through your journey?After years of working with physicians and rehabilitation specialists with no improvement, you began exploring emerging science and even AI as possible tools to help restore your voice. What kinds of technologies or research are giving you hope?For listeners who may have experienced brain trauma, stroke, or neurological injury affecting speech, what lessons have you learned about persistence, advocacy, and navigating the medical system?Many people assume that if the vocal cords are healthy, the voice should work. Your experience shows that the brain plays the central role. What do you wish more people understood about the neurological side of voice and speech?Your story is deeply personal, but it also raises larger questions about how medicine and technology might work together in the future. What do you hope researchers, neurologists, and the scientific community take away from your journey?Eric Kinkel is an Illinois native, lifelong musician, songwriter, producer, and concert curator whose career spans decades of performance, composition, and community-driven music making. Musically inclined from the age of 12, Kinkel is a self-taught multi-instrumentalist proficient in piano, guitar, and bass, recognized for a deeply personal approach to songwriting rooted in melody, emotion, and storytelling. Five years ago, Kinkel’s life and career were fundamentally altered when deep brain trauma caused the loss of both his speaking and singing voice. After years of consultations with doctors, hospitals, and specialists that failed to provide effective answers or meaningful progress, he was forced to confront the loss of the very instrument that defined his artistic and personal identity. Rather than withdrawing from his life’s work, Kinkel committed himself to understanding his condition and pursuing a path forward grounded in perseverance, clarity, and purpose. That quest is documented in “In Search of His Lost Cords,” a deeply personal documentary executive produced by Kinkel that chronicles his pursuit to reclaim his voice through emerging interventional quantum-based science and advanced AI-driven technologies. Featuring rare archival footage and an intimate interview with Kinkel in his current condition, the film traces his evolution from accomplished performer to resilient seeker of answers, offering a powerful testament to perseverance, innovation, and the enduring human drive to reclaim one’s voice. Throughout the years leading up to his brain trauma, Kinkel built a diverse and respected musical career. He performed as bassist for the band Scepter, recorded radio commercial jingles and a syndicated movie review theme, and developed a distinctive compositional voice that extended beyond traditional rock formats. He later joined the local rock band Lost Nation as lead singer and co-songwriter, solidifying his role as a frontman and lyricist. In 1987, he released his first solo recording, “A Long Time Coming,” a ten-song album featuring eight original compositions, followed by years of live performances at nightclubs, coffee houses, private events, and speaking engagements throughout the Chicago area. His recorded work continued with a digitally remastered CD single released in 1999, featuring “Antique Spirits” and a rendition of the late Michael Peter Smith’s “The Dutchman,” and a deepening commitment to collaboration across folk, rock, acoustic, and Americana genres. Kinkel’s later performance work reflected an increasingly thematic and curated approach to live music, blending artistry with philanthropy. Between 1997 and 2004, he produced and headlined three major benefit concerts in honor of his late sister, Linda Kinkel, who during that time was bedridden due to chronic progressive Multiple Sclerosis. The concerts raised nearly $46,000 for Multiple Sclerosis awareness and support, uniting musicians across genres in a shared cause. In August 2010, he and his band Acoustic Thunder presented the “Inspirations Concert” at the Schaumburg Prairie Center for the Arts, featuring Grammy Award–winning artist Bill Miller and Chicago rock icon Dirty Dan Buck. The concert incorporated audiovisual tributes to Kinkel’s late mother and sister, with a portion of proceeds donated to the National Multiple Sclerosis Foundation. In September 2011, Kinkel produced a solo, three-set theatrical concert titled “Love Songs, Blues Tunes, and Memorable Melodies,” blending acoustic performance with guest appearances by notable Chicago musicians, including Dean Milano, Traci Abel, Patti Prendergast, Salina Norman, John Abel, and Bob Abrams of The Buckinghams. Beginning in 2019, Kinkel entered the studio to complete a final body of recorded work rooted in personal expression rather than genre, resulting in the release of songs including “Watching Clouds,” “We Are Even,” “Goldmoor’s View,” “Tracez,” “Nothing’s Wrong Song,” “Paradise On Earth,” and “Autumnal Way,” now available across major digital platforms. In addition to his philanthropic work, Kinkel is widely recognized for producing and overseeing the creation of a permanent memorial honoring Marion Dorothy Nugent, the late mother of rock musician Ted Nugent. Following a benefit concert held to raise funds for the project, Kinkel successfully produced and erected a four-ton monument that now stands outside the Durty Nellie’s music venue in Palatine, Illinois. Dedicated in 2007, the monument garnered national and international media attention and remains an enduring civic and cultural landmark—one of the projects for which Kinkel is best known within media and music circles. Today, Kinkel’s creative legacy and ongoing search for answers continue through “In Search of His Lost Cords,” which stands not only as a record of his past accomplishments, but as a living document of resilience, scientific exploration, and hope in the face of profound change.
