Whoa! I was gonna ask which dogs would be more likely to have autism if that were possible. Instead, after some quick research it turns out there is a controversial and debated analog to autism in dogs termed CDB (canine dysfunctional behavior) that can include symptoms such as repetitive/compulsive behaviors, social challenges, heightened sensory sensitivities, and difficulty with changes in routine.
Bull terriers apparently are the breed which exhibit the most CDB-like symptoms. However, the breeds that are recommended to match with autistic humans are ones that are more predictable, gentle, calm, and friendly (e.g. labs, Goldenâs, etc).

So we (autistics) are just considered stupid. Great.

That is not at all entailed by my comment.

Controversial and debated; IE, some duechebag propositioned this whole concept, and since heâs rich and white and old, itâs gotten a bit of traction, and he absolutely does think autistic folks are stupid, But! The vast majority of anyone in the field with two functioning brain cells to rub together know heâs full of shit and are working on refuting him, because the aforementioned class heâs in means he didnât get immediately laughed out of the room or simply blatantly ignored like he shouldâve been.
Like any of the abysmal drivel that falls out of jordan petersonâs mouth
