Comment on I just learned 37% of Americans fear vaccinating their dog will cause the dog to develop autism. 😐

  I had a cat that was clearly autistic.

    I think that might be the default mode for cats.

      What, how? They are very loving and emotional. The autistic people ive met are very intellectual and not very emotional… Very much living in their heads. But I have only met like… 3…or something. :)

        Just cause we don’t show it outwardly as often, doesn’t mean we autists aren’t very emotional. I think more so than most non autistic people. Remember it is a spectrum. For example I’m like gigantic and fairly well built (think Jason Witten but shaved head) and I’ll surprise (scare) some dates because I’m not afraid to cry on occasion. But it also may be my upbringing more than my diagnosis.

        We’re generally not “not very emotional” we just show it differently and less. But it could seem so if you can’t decipher the differentness.

    Love me some capy blapies! Truly the coolest rodent of all time. Except for my friend’s pet rats, those guys are the coolest if not a little too pee happy.

  I mean, dogs and cats can have mental illnesses or disorders, it’s just that they tend to be less impactful due to them being, well, pets. They have no responsibilities

  From what I know, they can have traits reminiscent of human autism

  Hell, with some dogs I’ve met, I would argue most dogs are autistic already😅

  I imagine most golden retrievers I’ve just are a little autistic. It’s why they are so dopey.
