How we managed today's after school meltdown

I wanted to share this because it exemplifies how animals can benefit a child with Autism.

Emmett had another meltdown after school today. It got really loud and he was really upset. I'm jot even sure what this one was about. They can come on so quick and for seemingly no reason at all.

The only thing that calmed him down was Bella.  I managed to snap a picture of how she did it.  Emmett and Bella have such a strong bond...

Do your kids have pets? Do they help?
