Genuinely what the fuck do they think a dog being autistic would look like

Love me some capy blapies! Truly the coolest rodent of all time. Except for my friendâs 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, itâs 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 Iâve met, I would argue most dogs are autistic alreadyđ

I imagine most golden retrievers Iâve just are a little autistic. Itâs why they are so dopey.

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⌠3âŚor something. :)

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

Weâre generally not ânot very emotionalâ we just show it differently and less. But it could seem so if you canât decipher the differentness.
