Please, please, please, please, please vaccinated your dog. Please. I beg you. If you love them. If you care about them. For your dog’s own sake, please vaccinate them.

    Seriously. What the hell is dog autism? I don’t know a dog out there that is able to understand social cues and most of them don’t want to look you in the eye.

      My dog has ADHD (aka being a lurcher). Isn’t a dog with autism basically a cat in a more doofus body?

      Okay but you know those are just stereotypes, ASDs come in all shapes and sizes, and people with ASDs often don’t display those symptoms?

        Interestingly, autistics are FAR better with animals than people. Their emotions are far less convoluted, and so easier to read. A lot of autistics find they can read and connect with animals in a way they simply can’t with humans.
