The Diary of an Imprisoned Autistic Man: The Story of Ricardo Rogers
The book “The Diary of an Imprisoned Autistic Man” has just been released. Based on real events, it brings to light a powerful, sensitive, and socially relevant story. The book narrates the journey of an innocent man who was imprisoned by the justice system of the state of Goiás and who, after years of suffering and searching for answers, discovered his autism diagnosis in adulthood.
The work presents a profound account of exclusion, misunderstanding, and emotional resistance within the prison system, showing how the absence of an adequate diagnosis can exacerbate situations of extreme vulnerability.
After many years facing medical denials, social difficulties, and psychological suffering, the protagonist finally receives a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This discovery transforms his story: pain gains meaning, exclusion becomes identity, and his journey comes to represent a message of awareness and overcoming adversity.
Beyond the personal account, the book reinforces a fundamental public health warning: the need for adequate autism screening, especially in adults.
More than an account of injustice, the work presents itself as a testament to courage, faith, and self-knowledge. The book highlights how knowledge about autism can be crucial for inclusion, access to rights, and the construction of a positive identity.
