Back in 2018, Ribeiro shared that she'd gotten atattoo in honor of her son Alexandre, who was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder five years prior.

"So this just happened guys!" the proud mom wrote on social media at the time, alongside an image of herself getting inked.

Ribeiro went on to explain that while she had wanted to get a second tattoo for a while, she “couldn’t find anything meaningful enough till a meeting that I had a couple weeks ago about autism and kids with special needs.”

“Don’t know if you guys know and I was never open about it but my son was diagnosed with autism 5 years ago,” she wrote of her son, before adding that her first tattoo “is his name on the back of my neck.”

“I decided to do the symbol of autism (and kids with special needs),” Ribeiro continued, adding that the symbol — a ribbon covered with a puzzle piece pattern — is “beautiful and perfect just the way I wanted it to be.”

“I’m so happy about it ❤️ it means A LOT to me!” she added, before showing off the actual ink on her side in a separate post.
