Brazilian woman posed as autistic 12-year-old to fool adoptive family, authorities say

A 37-year-old Brazilian woman, Amanda Maria Souza de Oliveira, posed as a severely autistic 12-year-old girl to win the trust of an evangelical couple in Joinville, living with them for about 14 months with expenses covered. She used a doll, pacifier and baby bottle to appear younger and carried out similar frauds across Brazil under different names. After her aunt raised suspicions, police uncovered more cases; Oliveira was arrested in 2025, convicted of fraud, and sentenced to 18 months in prison. The case echoes the Natalia Grace controversy in the United States.
