Drawing on personal and professional experience, Stephen Shore combines three voices to create a touching, and at the same time, highly informative book. The autobiographical voice tells the story of Stephen's life, including his frustrations with the educational and medical communities, his adolescence, and now married life. The "time shifter" fills in background about his life that is otherwise out of the chronological order of the events being narrated; finally the researcher's voice puts Stephen's life within the context of the research literature on Autism and Asperger Syndrome. By using this triple lens, the book offers insights for parents, professionals and individuals who have Asperger's Syndrome.
