Stephen Louis Silberman (December 23, 1957 – August 29, 2024) was an American writer for Wired magazine and was an editor and contributor there for more than two decades. In 2010, Silberman was awarded the AAAS "Kavli Science Journalism Award for Magazine Writing." His featured article, known as "The Placebo Problem",[1] discussed the impact of placebos on the pharmaceutical industry.[2]

Silberman's 2015 book Neurotribes,[3] which discusses the autism rights and neurodiversity movements, was awarded the Samuel Johnson Prize.[4][5] Additionally, Silberman's Wired article "The Geek Syndrome",[6] which focused on autism in Silicon Valley, has been referenced by many sources and has been described as a culturally significant article for the autism community.[7]

Silberman's Twitter account made Time magazine's list of the best Twitter feeds for the year 2011.[8]

In 2016, he gave the keynote address at the United Nations on World Autism Awareness Day.[9][10]
