  • hi! I have an Autism Support Assistance Dog, she has just earned her  title of "fully trained" tasks wise, and has just turned two. She's absolutely amazing and when she's off work ie, ill or resting, i can definitely tell the difference. If you have an assistance dog then you want to make sure that if you have social anxiety it won't be heightened at the fact people will stare at you and you will come into complications at some point or another, especially if you have a non-stereotypical breed of dog like my dog.
