Since my hospitalization in February for a near fatal reaction to Anti-convulsants, my son's anxiety level has increased
5-fold. Some of his Autism traits have also relapsed. He's always wanted a dog (A Shih tzu) as they don't shed as much dander as other breeds. Due to his allergies, we've put it off.
However, with recent events; I'd love to get him a companion to help him learn to self-regulate...a "fur friend" to comfort him when he's anxious. He's passed into Grade 3 with flying colors, and I can't think of any other perfect way to help him celebrate his passing. He so longs for a dog to call his own. (more)

Furbabies are a comfort to people, good luck on this wish.
5 Stars - good luck dear!! I hope you get everything you need!
5 stars my son has asperger's so I know how you feel our dog (well his as she loves him the best lol) has been a blessing she calms him down and has taught him some responsibility he always puts her first. Its funny how he can't remember silly things or important things for that matter yet he never forgets what the dog Marley needs lol good luck I hope he gets his fur friend.
Thank you all for your kind comments (and advice on knocking down my amount) LOL. Took me a few days to figure that one out. Thank you for all your support :)

Your positive attitude and committment to your son is an inspiration. I hope this comes through for you and your beautiful boy!
sure hope your wish comes true every child should have a pet to help them make it through the hard times and the good times.
Good Luck
Good luck. Animals are get medicine for all.
Contact Paws for Assistance, they have a web site but I do not have the link. They train dogs to be assistance animals for autistic children. They have a few groups that work with them to grant financial aide. They are located in the States somewheres.
Unfortunately this site only awards $100.00 in each category. Putting up a wish for more than that will garner you a downvote or no vote at all.
luck to ya :)
Good luck
Good luck and best wishes !!!!
hope you can find someone to help
I am sending you lots of luck with your wish! I just thought I would let you know that the most you can win on this site is $100. You might want to consider lowering your amount to $100 because some people give a low amount of stars when it is above the amount you can receive.
I usually vote a 1 on wishes that are over 100, but I totally understand this need. I also have a son that is Autistic and he has a very difficult time making friends. If it weren’t for our dogs, he’d have zero companions. I think a dog will be great for your son. I hope he is able to get one soon.
pets can be a wonderful way to help a child with autism cope with the world. good luck.
