Stephen 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. 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.
