Stephen Mark Shore (born September 27, 1961) is an American autistic professor of special education at Adelphi University. [1] He has written several books on autism: College for Students with Disabilities, [2] Understanding Autism for Dummies, [3] Ask and Tell, [4] and Beyond the Wall. [5] Currently, he serves on the board of Autism Speaks, [6] and is one of the first two autistic board members in its history, looking to improve the potential of those on the autism spectrum. [7] He once headed the Asperger's Association of New England and was on the board of the Autism Society of America. [1]

Shore lost language skills at age 2 and a half, then started getting them back at four years old. He has been described as having a special interest in music. He has discussed difficulties with completing assignments presented in formats that he wasn't used to, leading him to transfer from a doctorate in music education to an ED.D. in Special Education with a focus on matching researched practice to individual profiles. [8]

His book, Ask and Tell, describes ways that autistic people can advocate for their needs. [9] His most popular two books, Beyond The Wall, and Ask and Tell were translated into Russian, Polish, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Arabic, Bengali and Vietnamese languages.
