People

Shore lost language skills before the age of four, then started getting them back at four years old. He supported taking mercury out of vaccines.[8] 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 drop out of a doctorate in music program. However, he eventually obtained a doctorate in Special Education.[9]

His book, Ask and Tell, describes ways that autistic people can advocate for their needs.[10]
