Autism: A New Perspective: Inside the Heart and Mind of a Non-Verbal Man
João Carlos, together with Andrea Libutti, MD, offer an entirely new way to view autism, with answers to the most pressing questions parents have about autism. From understanding odd behaviors, aggression, lack of speech, repetitive behavior, and more; to solutions for helping autistic children reach their full potential.
João Carlos is a non-verbal, autistic young man who lives in Portugal. Most people that see him would label him as severely autistic and very low-functioning. But he writes in fluent English, and he is here to tell us that what we think and believe about autism, is entirely wrong.
What unfolds in this book is a pouring out from João’s heart, a sharing of information so profound, you will never look at your child the same. And rightfully so, because according to João, we have grossly underestimated this population’s intelligence and potential.
Andrea Libutti, a physician, author and mother to three boys, the eldest with autism, began receiving letters from João in 2016. They began a conversation about the nature of autism, the growing epidemic, and how to best help these children.
What transpired was an entirely new perspective on autism, integrating the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of an epidemic that continues to grow, leaving parents and educators at a loss.
With João’s unexplainable spiritual wisdom, this book takes you on a journey that challenges what we think we know about life, and invites exploration into the realms of consciousness, the soul’s mission, and the evolution of humanity.
For parents that are looking to understand their child with autism, this book provides answers, totally unexpected answers, to those who are willing to consider a Divine orchestration of life, and the part that autism plays.
If you are open-minded to a bigger force at play here, then the messages in this book, from an autistic young man, will provide the guidance you need to connect with your child and optimize his/her future potential.

Sensational Insight !
I have a 3yr old non verbal boy and this book made my heart swell. Everything you have said is spot on. I began my awakening at 39 when I became pregnant and have done a lot of soul work and ancestral clean up. When I started healing my trauma and societal limiting beliefs my son really opened up and has made huge progress, especially in the last 9 months.
Thank you for the incredibly heart felt words and healing in this book.
God bless you 😇💜

What an insightful book
I work for a company which develops ASD therapy tools. This book really helped me to understand more about the challenges and differences each ASD person encounters. I was amazed by Joss insights on higher energy and beings. Thank you for this book and it is indeed a wonderful one. It helped to look ASD from a different point of view.

Incredible read!
I was so intrigued that I read almost the entire book in one sitting. This young man has a remarkable gift and what a reminder that we all have special gifts and social contracts to fulfill! A must read for anyone who works with or has a loved one on the Spectrum.

read in a morning
Never looked at the pain autistic people may be feeling inside due to constraints.
Main thought foreword is ACCEPTANCE AND TOLERANCE
