I-can dogs even be autistic?
Honestly I think my dog might be. Very particular. Likes routine. Has sensory related triggers. Always finds the dark secluded corner of things get noisy in the house.
That's a normal dog thing
Thatβs the joke
Let me go ask my dog if they're autistic. They're right over here, screaming about how it's already 5:31 and I haven't given them their 5:30 treat yet.
Dogs are great, but even if they were autistic would anyone even notice?
Yes, except just like human children, they are often just treated as difficult or badly behaved by adults who do not understand that they are autistic.
Of course, it's a cognitive spectrum that probably effects all mammals at least, and I wouldn't be surprised if it's far more prevalent than that
Children from international adoptions sometimes have something like an acquired autism - life is completely regulated and food and water and needed items are delivered and removed on schedules and the child has no impact on their environment. I had a couple of greyhounds that were trained to race as pups. They had some AU tendencies. I bet some other pups develop those to.
That's a question that is very hard to answer. Dogs have a similar-ish brain structure but there's a good chance you need a massive prefrontal cortex to have a chance of getting autism.
