Unbelievable ways Autism Assistance Dogs assist me

- I owner trained Gypsy and Bear before I became a dog trainer.
I suspected I had autism for a long time, and I've trained my dogs to help me. Recently, I've gotten my ASD diagnosis, and here's a video that will hopefully help others!

Ok LISTEN, hear me out, a tiny service dog opening up a tiny fridge to retrieve a bag of tea is way to freaking cute, 😭✋❤️💯
My mom and dad read up on autism assistance dogs and got me a puppy to train to help me, plus training him has giving my life purpose since I can’t handle a job and have finished schooling. He’s only 3 months old and he’s already changed my life even tho it’s been hard.
Hey! I have (unofficially diagnosed) Autism and have a Service Dog for my PTSD. I constantly get the reaction, "but you're not disabled!" by ignorant people who don't know what they're talking about ALL the time! Without my SD, I would be unable to go into public spaces. I have bad Panic Attacks as well. Without my dog, I would definitely have WAY more hospital visits. Some disabilities that exist are quite real, quite legitimate, but the public doesn't generally see them. They can't see what's happening. That's why such disabilities are labeled "invisible." Not that they don't exist, that others can't necessarily see what's happening! That does not make our dogs any less legitimate! And on social media, people take great pleasure in tearing you down, no matter who you are or what's going on. So, speaking as someone who knows, ignore the negative nancies and do what you need to do to take care of your health! Keep on, keeping on! Be generous and compassionate to yourself. ❤❤❤ TFS
Great report on your experience, thanks for sharing. I'm also autistic and in the next few weeks I'm getting a service dog. While I'm really excited to have this support, I also see some anxiety about the idea of “not being autistic enough to have one”, can you relate?! The dog, Obiwan, will be donated by an Institute focused on training dogs to help autistic and disabled people, and they know the people and are helping me a lot, but I still get that feeling every now and then. But anyway, I really identify with some of the tasks you showed in this video and I could improve my daily life with some of them, some with others.
It's good to see what they can both do for you (and you for them, as guide dogs have good rewards for helping and working). Please save the videos, it is very encouraging and comforting. Have a nice week :)
I have an autism spectrum disorder called Asperger syndrome! I’m training my golden retriever Freja as a service dog. She helps me in the store when I get very overstimulated. I also have sensitive hearing which can cause sensory overload. I have been owner training Freja for a year now.
Wow what an impressive video! I am baffled that you trained them yourself, the do so many tasks. It is sooooo cool you realised how dogs can help you and brave that you tried. I just loved to see this :)
Thank you for sharing such a really big part of your life with all of us on the internet.
Thank you for supporting me :)
I learned a lot from this! Thanks for sharing your experience. Congrats on living a happier life with your dogs :)
Im also autistic and jmused to have a dog i was training to be a service dog but alot had happened and i had to leaver but ive noticed ive gotten worse ever since i dont have her anymore
Thank you so much for this video, I'm looking forward to seeing more from you! I especially like that you trained them to find your girlfriend. I'm gonna keep this in mind!
I'm getting my service dog for autism and type 1 diabetes in July - I'll train them myself but with help from an organization. The mother's name is Gipsy too!
Did you raise Gipsy and Bear as puppies or did you adopt them as adults?
Thanks so much! I really appreciate your support.
Gypsy got given to me at 9 months and Bear at 1y1/2
What mix is Bear? He's one of the cutest little dogs I've seen & so friendly & attentive! He looks just like a mini version of my 50 lb very mixed dog!!
Honestly, i dont even know lol
Hey, do you have any advice on how you trained your dogs? Any links/resources? And how long it took? I want to train my own as many charities cannot accommodate me :(
cute flamindog
Is Gypsy a pyrenees mix?
She is!
You might explain the major life activities that your autism significantly impairs. And, then the specific tasks trained to mitigate that disability. You are using your diagnosis as the reason for your service dogs. But, they must make your impaired life functions or activities significantly improved. Loads of people have autism, PTSD, depression, anxiety, etc. And, the vast majority of these diagnoses do not significantly impair life activities. They may make life a struggle or hard to do.
Im sorry?
