AutismAsperger.net is the web home of Stephen Shore, author of Beyond the Wall: Personal Experiences with Autism and Asperger Syndrome.

AutismAsperger.net serves to build greater awareness of the autism spectrum and in particular, Asperger Syndrome. It joins other websites with this same focus and will work together with them toward strengthening our community of people on the autism spectrum. I hope autismasperger.net will help people appreciate those on the autism spectrum for who they are and participate with them to develop strengths and make accommodations for challenges.

Unlimited Potential for People on the Autism Spectrum

Recently produced during my New Zealand and Australia speaking tour this video focuses on promoting strengths as a pathway to success for people on the autism spectrum. Now in my 5th year as a professor of special education at Adelphi University, my travels to educate and raise awareness about autism continue, having presented in 46 out of the 50 United States, and in 32 countries across 6 of the 7 continents across the globe.

Recent video presentations:

People with Autism Should be Appreciated for Whom they Are
MOSCOW, RUSSIA - Russia Today TV. Prime Time interview on how Stephen Shore overcame some of the challenges of being on the autism spectrum and a focus on using strengths rather then deficits to empower people with autism to lead fulfilling and productive lives to the greatest extent possible.

We autists are able to perceive only 7% of human communication - Professor Stephen Shore
MOSCOW, RUSSIA - Russia Today TV. Sophie & Co. Autism - this phenomenon was defined in the science relatively late, but the number of people with the disorder is growing each year. It is far from being clearly understood, as it core reasons lie concealed, breeding many myths around it. Is autism an illness? Could one benefit from it? Are people on autism spectrum so different? And most importantly, where is their place in the human society? To find answers on these challenging questions, we talk to a man of science, professor, author and lecturer; the man diagnosed with autism himself. Dr. Stephen Shore is on Sophie&Co today.

My life with autism from the non-verbal days and recommendations for institutionalization to being a professor of special education, internationally known author and presenter on autism, and giving music lessons to children with autism.
