Join Whitney Price on a very special episode of the Get UnPuzzled Podcast as she sits down with one of the world's most influential autism advocates, Dr. Temple Grandin.

Named one of TIME Magazine's 100 Most Influential People, Dr. Grandin has spent decades changing the way the world understands autism. In this powerful conversation, she reflects on her childhood, the frustration of being unable to speak, her experiences with anxiety and panic attacks, the importance of early intervention, and what she believes every parent should know about raising a child who thinks differently.

Together, Whitney and Dr. Grandin discuss:

• Growing up with autism
• Non-speaking children and communication
• Anxiety, panic attacks, and mental health
• Sensory differences and neurodiversity
• Siblings and family dynamics
• Barriers to accessing services and supports
• Advocacy and the future of autism care
• Why we should never underestimate our children

Whether you're a parent, caregiver, educator, or professional, this episode is filled with wisdom, hope, and practical advice from one of the most respected voices in the autism community.

Because, as Dr. Grandin reminds us, different is not less.
