This series was written to promote awareness and teach the audience how a mind affected by autism perceives and processes everyday life. Monica Moses, born a healthy, neuro-typical baby, experienced a rapid developmental and physical regression at the age of 20 months. At 32 months she received a final diagnosis of severe Autism Spectrum Disorder with severe Motor Deficiencies. Today, at seventeen, she has been re-assessed as having Asperger Syndrome. Her remarkable healing has spanned over 15 years and continues today. Susanna Moses, her mother, wrote this first book for the Monica’s Silent World series in 2001 when Monica was still non-verbal. The publishing of Monica’s Silent World has taken 12 years. Susanna was in search of the perfect illustrator. Who would have ever imagined that the artist would turn out to be Monica herself?
