José Paulo – Ideal Decision
Anne Caroline, nine years old, is the one to say it. She remem-
bers everything her daddy teaches her, and she loves to chat at
night before bedtime, or in the home theater where they always
watch some show.
We also have Paulo Henrique, four years old, a sweet, intelligent
kid, in the autism spectrum. He offers us a challenging journey,
but one that teaches us many things on a daily basis. We have
made a lot of progress, and Daddy Paulo is always present in the
fierce search for the best treatments and strategies to rescue him.
We even moved to another country, as he always said that our little
one will always be treated by the best. Since then, we have been on
this journey, in which every moment we discover and explore new
strategies and treatments and, of course, daddy Paulo, with his vi-
sionary and entrepreneurial side, has already designed in his head
how to get all this knowledge and help hundreds of other daddies,
because mission given is mission accomplished!
Paulo is a present father and always makes an effort to be there
for our little ones, he has done so from the first month of my
pregnancy. He is a doting father, never misses an event and is our
official camera man – he has over one million family pictures,
because he loves to record all memories!
Daddy, we want to leave our tribute hereby:
Anne: I want to tell you that I also recognize your dedication
and extreme effort to provide us with the best. Thank you for
being a more than Ideal dad! I love it when you take me to school,
when you teach me about the world, the Earth, life, and the word
of God. Thank you for always invite me to pray with you and to
listen to the Presente Diário (loosely translated as Daily Gift). I

love these moments very much. You are my greatest leader, mentor,
inspiration, and role model!
Paulo Henrique: I love, love, love you. When I am a grown up, I
will most certainly dedicate an entire chapter to you! You will be
very proud of me, daddy, but I already thank you for everything
you do to rescue me from the spectrum. I will be a success case and
my story will inspire thousands of lives!
Ideal husband
The characteristics that won me over!
Paulo is a partner and a friend, I feel whole and blessed, because
I never imagined I could find one person with so many qualities.
From the first day I met him, I could feel his vibe and energy to
make things happen, and his above average intelligence, humility
and will to help others.
These characteristics enchanted me, in addition to his blue eyes,
of course, because to me, these are characteristics of great impact
and define whether the person will succeed or not; after all, if you
have initiative, are eager for knowledge, applied, humble and are
always concerned with helping others for real, the sky is the limit.
And for the past 15 years together it is what I have lived, a great
journey of great challenges and gigantic achievements. Paulo is
intense, obstinate by success and relentless in the search for his
objectives and ideals!
I remember when he proposed to me, I told him: “Honey, I
want more than a husband, I want a partner who helps me educate
my younger brothers”, who were little at the time. As my parents
were divorced, we were starting over and rebuilding the family’s life
