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.

- 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.
