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
I always loved the family dogs. They accept you for yourself. Absolutely no pressure on you. They only stare at you to make sure you're OK or for a treat. I've got to the point that I will avoid going out. It's too stressful.
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.
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.
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.
I have autism and I have a service dog that’s a golden retriever and she does task for me. That are unbelievable when we are at a hotels. My mom takes her out to go potty and brings her back up and says find Olivia and Ruby goes immediately to our hotel room.
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 :)
@4min 10sec. Who decides what is “impaired enough” who decides if ur “disabled enough” not the ppl on the internet for sure! Keep doing what ur doing if it worked for you! I’m new to the sd community and it’s not for the faint of heart. Idk if I have autism but I can get overstimulated, and I can have attacks of dysautonimia, or anything that my body decides depending on the day, so I get it. Ur dogs are beautiful and so are you. I do the tea thing too, like everyday. How did and do u teach new tasks to ur pups?
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?
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
Any advice on getting one I have been on two wait lists and I’m terrified for my daughter she’s almost 6 and she elopes a lot. She absolutely loves dogs and our dog passed in January at 14 she wasn’t a service dog but she was absolutely our service dog so to speak she was amazing with my little girl.
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 :(
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!!
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.
Where does it say that a service dog has to make impaired life functions or activities be significantly improved? When I told my manager about an obviously fake service dog that came into where I work, she said all she could ask them is if the dog was a service dog and what service it provided. People are taking advantage of the fact that it is illegal to require someone to prove that their dog is a service dog... I believe most of the dogs that you see in stores are not even emotional support dogs. The owners just know that you can get away with bringing the dog in.

Seeing service dogs at work is so incredible. They really are so focused and trained above and beyond any simple pet.
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, 😭✋❤️💯

4:30 this is the cutest part this is my favorite part ❤

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 :)

Thanks so much! I really appreciate your support.
Gypsy got given to me at 9 months and Bear at 1y1/2
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
Any advice on getting one I have been on two wait lists and I’m terrified for my daughter she’s almost 6 and she elopes a lot. She absolutely loves dogs and our dog passed in January at 14 she wasn’t a service dog but she was absolutely our service dog so to speak she was amazing with my little girl.
is there a specific advantage to multiple service dogs? does it just give extra support, or are they trained to do separate things?

Honestly, i dont even know lol
Where did you get your vests?
I was recently diagnosed with autism. How do people get service dogs that help with autism?
Is Gypsy a pyrenees mix?
She is!

Im sorry?

cute flamindog
Pls don’t color their fur
i'm gonna throw in a guess and say it's
1. dye that's safe for dogs
2. to discourage theft as the dog is easier to describe and find
@@hijidltkryes and also I personally would especially dye my SDs tail so people don’t step on it!
