Just found this great site: Autism Service Dogs of America. I hadn't known there were service dogs for the autistic. Good to know.
Also, check out this interesting Consults blog in the New York Times: Readers Ask: Pets, People and Autism, and the related article Exploring the Health Benefits of Pets.
It's all good reading.
I didn't know about this either. I am not surprised though. People really underestimate what we FUR FOLKS can truly do.
