Merely Me: What is the best thing about having autism?
Stephen Shore: Being able to perceive the environment differently and notice things others don't. I might notice patterns or colors that others don't care about. Also I am able to get involved in deep interests.
Merely Me: What would you like to tell parents and families who have just found out that their child has autism?
Stephen Shore: Your child is the same child before you found out. And the potential for your child is unlimited to lead a fulfilling and productive life.
Merely Me: Thank you Stephen for an amazing interview!
