Happy New Year!
I haven't posted in a long while, primarily because I have been too busy with my day job, and also because Shane is doing a coop program this semestre, working with dogs at a dog day care. He is having a wonderful time at this job, and it has really opened our eyes to some potential careers.
Pets are a very good way to engage your child/young adult with Autism or Asperger's. Dogs especially, give unconditional love, can be trained, and are good for developing responsibility. I've heard that horses and horse-back riding is also therapeutic.
Give something new a try in 2012! (But remember to plan it out and have a Plan B in case it doesn't work out.)
