The Difference Pets Make in Children with ASD

A Friend Like Henry: The Remarkable True Story of an Autistic Boy and the Dog That Unlocked His World 

It has long been the opinion that pets have a dramatic effect on children with different disorders that affect the human brain. Even for people who have met accidents that have injured their brains have benefited from the pets. More so for children just starting to open up to the world, as with young children with Autism.

So here I am sharing another article I've read that inspires me and gives me hope. Global Edmonton reports in the article "Service dog changes autistic girl's life" how one dog's adoption has made a difference in the life of a girl stricken with Autism. Alison Ainsworth, the little girl's mother also write and shares her story with the rest of the world through the website www.ifmydogcouldtalk.net. You can also show your support by buying her book to read about Emily's inspiring story.
