About Professor Stephen Shore:
Diagnosed with 'Atypical Development and strong autistic tendencies' and
'too sick' for outpatient treatment, Professor Shore was recommended
for institutionalisation. Non-verbal until four, and with much support
from his parents, teachers, wife and others, Stephen is now a professor
at Adelphi University in Long Island, New York, where his research
focuses on matching best practice to the needs of people with autism.
In addition to working with children and talking about life on the
autism spectrum, Stephen presents and consults internationally on adult
issues pertinent to education, relationships, employment, advocacy and
disclosure as discussed in his books Beyond the Wall: Personal
Experiences with Autism and Asperger Syndrome, Ask and Tell:
Self-advocacy and Disclosure for People on the Autism Spectrum, the
critically acclaimed Understanding Autism for Dummies, and the newly
released DVD, Living along the Autism Spectrum: What it means to have
Autism or Asperger Syndrome.
President emeritus of the Asperger's Association of New England and
former board member of the Autism Society, Dr Shore serves on the boards
of the Asperger Syndrome and High-Functioning Autism Association, the
Autism Services Association and other autism-related organisations.
