Monica's Silent World

By Susanna Moses

Meet Monica. An adorable little girl with a wild imagination and a curious nature. She gets into everything
Monica is creative, intelligent and funny. She loves to play, but usually all alone. Monica does not talk, so it is difficult for her to make friends. Children do not understand why she cannot speak and sometimes tease her. They call her cruel names and tell her that she is weird. What other's think is different about Monica, is actually unique. Monica has Autism.

Join Monica on her many adventures and experience what it is like to live with autism. You will gain an understanding of autism and learn to appreciate these amazing individuals. Monica Moses was diagnosed with severe Autism Spectrum Disorder by age three. Today, she has been re-assessed and was diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome or high functioning autism. Her remarkable healing has spanned over 18 years and continues today. Susanna Moses, Monica's mom, wrote this first book for the Monica's Silent World series in 2001 when Monica was still non-verbal. You can read more about their incredible story inside this book.

The publishing of Monica's Silent World took over 12 years. Susanna was in search of the
perfect illustrator. Who would have ever imagined that the artist would be Monica herself? You can
read more about this inside too.
