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.
