About
Shirley
Shirley’s first book, Autism Mom: New Ways of Thinking, tells the story of her journey from hopeless to empowered and introduces new concepts in understanding autism.
Shirley speaks before parents, professionals, companies and organizations and is known to inspire her listeners and open their minds to a different understanding of autism and the potential of people with autism. Among Shirley’s many speaking engagements, she had spoken twice at the United Nations – once at the General Assembly – and has appeared on local and international television.
Before Shirley moved back to Israel, following her husband’s appointment as a Supreme Court Justice, she also ran an advocacy practice where she helped autism parents vindicate their child’s rights and create the best school and home program to enable their child to reach his or her true potential.
Shirley now lives in a village near Jerusalem with her husband and three children.
The Needle Of Justice
Maya Stone, an autism mom from Fairview, Connecticut, dealing with her son Ben’s day-to-day hardship, observes in horror how the number of children affected by neurological disorders in the United States is rising exponentially and nobody can explain why.
Maya, who used to practice law, comes up with a legal theory that turns into a class action involving many families in order to expose the truth behind the suffering of so many children.
How far would the defendants go to protect their multimillion-dollar enterprise?
Would Maya’s son stay safe?
How will the needle of justice turn?
Autism Mom
At age 33, it seemed that Shirley Blaier-Stein had it all. She lived in New York City with her loving husband and beautiful boy and was well into a successful legal career. When her son Dan was diagnosed with autism at age three, her world falls apart. Lonely, isolated, and with no answers or hope from doctors, she realizes that she has to pave her own road to Dan’s healing.
Determined to not leave a rock unturned, Shirley dives into learning everything she can about autism and treatments. She comes across the amazing story of Joseph, a spiritual healer who was severely autistic as a child. Joseph explains to her that autism is a language that most people don’t understand, and that parents are the autistic child’s primary healers and channels to the world.
Autism Mom unfolds a riveting story on how to understand autism, speak its language, and truly communicate with the autistic child.
Presentations & Autism Advocacy
I'm available for presentations via zoom and I'm happy to contribute at any matter related to the cause.
From stay-at-home autism mom to career and self-fulfillment
I went from a Manhattan attorney to a stay-at-home autism mom, and today I'm an author, advocate and director of research and development in the field.
