Silent Meow (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781774033418)

This book is written by a person with Autism and Asperger's Syndrome. It is written openly and honestly through the mediums of memoir and insight. It gives the reader an in-depth glimpse into the feelings and emotions experienced by a person with a disability trying to navigate their way through a world of people without special needs, . Most times, people in general, don't bother to take the time to have meaningful contact with or get to know a person who is "different" from the norm in their social interactions. It is difficult enough for people on the Autism spectrum, whether high functioning of not, to wend their way through this world intricacies and nuances and have meaningful relationships. They have aspirations, wants, needs, desires like any human being has. I hope after reading this book of insightful poetry the reader will have a greater understanding of what Autistic people feel deep inside their heart and soul. Take the time to hear their "silent meow". Candice James, Poet Laureate Emerita, New Westminster, BC CANADA
