Kids with Autistic : Spectrum Disorder, like all kids, are individuals with individual strengths & challenges. The applications we physicians fill out for families who request service animals contain many questions regarding the animal's potential for safety in a household. Usually, animals are placed in homes of kids with ASD age 6 & older who have higher cognitive & communication skills
