Who here has an autistic assistance animal? Therapy animal, support animal or animal of any description that you find helps with your autism and in what way does the animal help you?
greetings from the US cashews!
I have a emotional support animal. It’s a dog. Her name is Shimai which means sister in Japanese. She’s a Pomeranian chihuahua or pomchi. She helps me a lot. If I forget to take my meds she’ll remind me. Shimai will be in the bathroom when I shower or brush my teeth making sure my anxiety is in check. When I stim she’ll sit on my stomach to calm me down. I do take her with me to places.

My neighbour's cat was doing that to me I was feeding her sometimes, and then She would sneak into my flat and refused to leave, and I would give up eventually and sit down, then she would jump on my knees, or on my stomache if I was lying down.
