Autism assistance dogs
Dogs for the Disabled is a charity that trains specially selected dogs to carry out a range of practical tasks and assist disabled children and adults to achieve greater independence.
An assistance dog acts as a great ice-breaker and can often 'flag up' hidden disabilities, such as autism, allowing other people to see that a person may have particular needs and that, for example, a child is not just being naughty.
