Meet Our Animals Who Help Special Needs Children In Ways That We, Humans, Struggle To
Meet Our Animals Who Help Special Needs Children In Ways That We, Humans, Struggle To

I'm on the autism spectrum, and honestly, I don't know how I would've figured out how to communicate with people if I didn't first learn through my cat. She's very easy to understand once you know cat body language, and she's been my lil bestie for the past 7 years, even having some therapists refer to her as my therapy cat. I'm so proud of the people doing this work!

So true (though my dog definitely judges me when I'm not sharing my food with her!). 😜

How Traveling Is Changing My Autistic Daughter
How Traveling Is Changing My Autistic Daughter

I can understand if you live in the US to not feel the need to travel elsewhere, your country is incredible with the most varied landscape probably on earth along with the fact that you have over 50 national parks you guys are blessed with an amazing amount on your doorstep, there will be ways like house sitting where you can access free accommodation. Im not suggesting every family should go travelling abroad with their kids but it may suit some and this article might inspire them when they are feeling nervous due to their special situation. The reason why there are beautiful photos is that I’m a professional photographer & author, the friend who I went to Greece with is also a photographer too. Yes this trip was highly planned due to us travelling with a child on the spectrum, it’s a big enough challenge for us all without having to worry about what the plan is. I document all of our adventures, the good, bad, triumphs and developments.

Aw so sweet! I'm on the autism spectrum as well, and my orange tabby, Bonito, is always there to calm em down when I get nervous.
