Understanding Autism: A Conversation Every Parent Should Hear

  1. Understanding Autism: A Conversation Every Parent Should Hear Ed Franklin 41:13

So many kids are misunderstood, mislabeled, or overlooked —not because they’re broken, but because adults don’t know what they’re seeing. In this episode, Ed Franklin sits down with Dr. Jeffery Knight, founder of Health Empowered Families, to break down what autism really lookslike, why so many children go undiagnosed, and how parents can become the strongest advocates for their kids.

We talk about behavior, communication, sensory overload, and the emotional world kids often can’t articulate. Dr. Knight brings Clarity, compassion, and decades of experience helping families understand their children in a deeper, more empowering way.

If you’re a parent, educator, or leader who wants to seekids for who they truly are — not who we assume they are — this conversation will change the way you show up.

I am an almost 61-year-old Sales, Sales Manager, and Leader in my community in San Diego, CA. I started my podcast to help younger people navigate life since I have had hurdles like everyone else, but I tend to get a large variety of ages listening, even boomers! I have 8 children and soon to have a total of 19 grandchildren. Like many boomers I have been through the ringer when it comes to life and have many life experiences that could benefit anyone at any age. I choose to be a positive person, although it can be tough with our country's leadership over the last 20 years.
