Shayne Farmer

Despite my diagnoses of Highly Functional Autistic, I have a proven track record of commitment and accomplishments.

At Dock Academy, I played high school basketball and ran track. In addition to athletics, I spoke during all student assemblies on three different occasions regarding adoption, autism and inclusion.

In my senior year, I was the recipient of the Dr. David R. Doyle Memorial Award. This award recognizes one senior student a year for their leadership and sportsmanship.

In addition, during my senior year, I was awarded the Troy Vasey Award. The award recognizes one senior basketball player for their commitment to their teammates.

I have drummed on numerous occasions during school assemblies including Alumni weekend. (see below) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HJb933pYoY

In 2019, I was recognized by the Philadelphia 76ers Strong Kid of the Game on Autism inclusion night. I was recognized for my my school work and team work.

I have a proven track record of being a quick learner when given an opportunity.
