A blind child with a guide dog thats attistic? Are you serious? How old is this child? My own son is blind and mildly autistic but a guide dog is the last thing I'd consider suitable for him until he matures more.

Thought I'd introduce myself since I am new, I am not blind, but I am hopefully going to be an aide in the upcoming september for a child who is with autism who has a guide dog, and when i remembered hearing about this list I hoped I could find info to help with supporting him. I in the past have met someone with a guide dog and am a tad confused about rules with play vs. work, with a kid i'm not sure how easy it will be to keep play mode down. Katie
