Lives com Marcos Petry
Project partner
As part of its commitment to inclusion, reducing prejudice, and spreading accessible knowledge about Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), the Justice Institute (IJ) has partnered with influencer, writer, and speaker Marcos Petry to hold educational live sessions on Instagram.
The broadcasts, which feature special guests and relevant topics, aim to demystify ASD, increase awareness, and contribute to a more welcoming and informed society. With each live session, a lecture by Marcos is raffled for an APAE in different regions of Brazil, broadening the initiative's reach.
To represent the institute and mediate the meetings, Denise El Rafih participates as a social practitioner specializing in ASD, leading discussions with sensitivity and depth, strengthening the educational pillar of the project.

“The partnership between IJ and the Petry family arises from the desire to value human potential in its multiple forms of learning and being. More than inclusion, we speak of genuine acceptance, recognizing neurodiversity as part of our coexistence and the social function of the school. The union of the Petry family's experience with IJ's experience in the social field has broadened this affective and transformative perspective throughout Brazil — and shows us that accepting others as they are is no longer the future, it's the present.” - Marcos Petry
Since 2024, 3 live events have already been held:
- November 11, 2024, with Adriana Teixeira, founder of Centro Lumi, about the partnership between family and school in the development of children with ASD;
- March 20, 2025, with Gilberto Cury, creator of NLP in Brazil, speaking about the value of being authentic and how NLP can be applied to autism;
- June 18, 2025, on Autism Pride Day, featuring the autistic influencer and therapist @cafecomjohnny, discussing autism in adults.
The project reinforces the Justice Institute as a promoter of knowledge, empathy, and social transformation, actively working against prejudice and strengthening the sense of belonging for autistic individuals in all spaces.
