RockStar Dr. Shore presents for ASI Saturday, Nov. 5!

[Guest guest]

I had the pleasure of talking with Dr. Shore and I attribute his

RockStardom similar to that of Temple Grandin's. I am always completely in awe

of those who are RockStar's who have paved the way and shown us hope of how

Rockin our children can become.

Don't miss this opportunity to gain insight on the pro's of Autism such as;

Success with Autism: Using our Strengths for Achieving a Fulfilling and

Productive Life-Just Like EveryOne Else.

Shore

Autism Conference Online Presenter

Nonverbal until four and diagnosed with " atypical development with strong

autistic tendencies, " Shore was regarded as " too sick " to be treated on

an outpatient basis and recommended for institutionalization.

Fortunately, his parents disagreed. With their persistence and the help of

teachers and other friends and professionals, has gained more ground

than anyone would have thought possible from that original diagnosis! He is now

completing his doctoral degree in special education at Boston University with a

focus on helping people on the autism spectrum develop their capacities to the

fullest extent possible.

In addition to working with children and advocating for a better quality of life

on the autism spectrum, presents and consults internationally on adult

issues pertinent to education, relationships, employment, advocacy, and

disclosure. In his book Beyond the Wall: Personal Experiences with Autism and

Asperger Syndrome, he shares his love of music and learning as he walks us

through the heartaches and triumphs of his life as an Aspie.

He also serves on the board of the Autism Society of America, as board president

of the Asperger's Association of New England, and is on the Board of Directors

for Unlocking Autism, the Autism Services Association of Massachusetts, MAAP

Services, The College Intership Program, and the KEEN Foundation.
