Andrea Libutti M.D.

The autism diagnosis is often received by a parent, with some level of shock, uncertainty and fear. Andrea’s reaction, when her oldest son was diagnosed, was no different. But something happened to Andrea while looking for answers to help her son. She embarked on an even bigger healing journey - her own. Today, after years of research, consultations with experts, and finally a greater awareness of the big picture of autism, Andrea shares her insights in favor of shifting the autism paradigm from the outdated “tragedy” story to one of possibilities, not just for the potential in this population, but for the potential of humanity to awaken to their true essence. Andrea shares that the epidemic of autism is a shout-out to humanity to re-think the way we treat each other and our planet. As a physician and a mother, Andrea has a unique perspective to help the world-at-large, accept and discover the brilliance in this population through her writing, workshops and online presence.
