Pets, Autism, and Health Benefits of Pets

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.
