They train the dog to put its nose or a paw on the child. That would help her fit in more in public.
That combination is deadly. It means the child can jerk out of your hand without warning.
The support we have received from my family has been wonderful. Going through my own struggle with Molly has made me closer with my own parents.
Autistic children have a hard time making friends. In Molly's case, her lack of speech doesn't help. We would be encouraging people to talk to her and pet her dog.
They played games with the kids, taught the kids, build relationship between police officer and community very proactive approach.
If Molly sees a lake, her instinct is to run into it. She would just keep going if no one stopped her. That would be an important function of the dog.
Because of that, we thought search-and-rescue would be important training. I think it's only a matter of time before Molly will try to open the backyard gate. It could be a matter of months.
