Thanks for sharing the article. Cool that the dog can detect an impending meltdown.
Thank you for posting this article.
I had a chance to see my first autism dog in action at our state Autism Walk in May. He was absolutely fasinating to watch as he worked with his young owner. He was beautifully trained and really in toon to what was going on with his young child. The family that owned him told me that thier son's vocabulary had doubled since they got the dog 6 months ago.His owner was around 4 years old . It was a really great thing to watch one in action .
I found this story today about an autistic boy and the dog who helps him.
