“So this just happened!” the proud mom wrote on social media at the time, along with a picture on which she signed her name.

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 until the meeting I had [a] a few weeks ago about autism and children with special needs.”

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

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