Great video, but she should take her sandals off!

I can't handle that dog barking, I can't believe she just kept talking, I bet that was bothering her 😭 I can't talk around loud noises it's too distracting

Ty I have a service dog🐕‍🦺🐕‍🦺 Hopper🎃

There is also absolutely excellent video 17 min about the distinction between different somatic disorders. It is from a YT channel with a silly name: "Dirty Medicine". The video is extreme clear! It is directed for medical students studying for their exam. I highly recommend watching that if this video seemed a little all over the place and hard to hear the definitions.

So refreshing to finally see something that is about adults with autism. Like 95% of the research I've done tonight has been about either a child or adult who can't take care of themselves with higher needs. I'm in the process of getting an official diagnosis and am self diagnosed, like there's no way I'm not autistic, and I'm 24. It's been extremely hard for me to take basic care of myself past eating once a day (I haven't eaten 3 meals in a day in years) showering most days and brushing my teeth (feels gross if I don't). It took me 5 hours to get out of bed the other day. The thought of driving somewhere, even familiar places I know how to get to, especially ALONE, is debilitating. I've always been able to take care of guests better than myself. Had my best friend sleep over for a week, ate more often and did more, was a little more productive with someone else there. If I had a dog to take care of, wake up for, feed, walk.... I'd be up and feeding myself and walking myself too! It would be in my best interest to have a dog, especially a Service Dog, but I don't know if we can afford one. I've never had a job, either. I tried being a dishwasher for a deli once last year and I made it thru the day, barely, but my anxiety was so bad that I was up in the middle of the night delirious where I was awake but I thought my blanket was turning into hardened cheese and trapping me in if I moved. Both my parents had genius IQ and the lowest I scored on online free tests was a 136, though the other 3 were in the 140's, so I'm really smart, I'm mostly vocal (I shut down when very anxious, forcing myself to speak is very hard)... people would consider me "high functioning" (dont get me started on Mr AssBurger and his labels) but actually I feel I'm slightly higher needs. Maybe mid. Very Mid needs. Having a dog would improve my life so much. But all the research has led me to kids and children with Autism. Sorry, it doesn't go away when I turn 18. In fact, it's gotten worse. People talk about that, about doing well in school and then becoming a young adult and autism coming back with a vengeance. I'm really feeling that.

I trained my own autistic support dog she redirects me when I get noise overload and crowd overload

Does Rebecca have a RUclips channel?

wish they had autism service dogs for adults its super impossible to find it. they really should make one

she spoke so well and gave a beautiful demonstration in a crowded busy place. that could be really difficult for anyone. so awesome to see! service dogs are just wonderful

14:00 neurocognitive disorder

There's gotta be some irony in an autistic demonstration that shows the presenter not giving the mic to the speaker. Clueless.

Thanks for the video it was one of the first I watched when considering an autism service dog for myself, I will have an autism service dog fully trained this July!

Awsome

Wonderful support for Autism. We don't have it in the uk.

I’m a RANZCP trainee and found this covered most of the exam content. Good one...

The manual is titled DSM-5 NOT DSM-V. This was done deliberately by the APA to bring the the manual into the modern era.

Loud noises are torture! I'm always grabbing my hears and either screaming or yelling angrily at the person making the noise.

These dogs are great.

your dog is very well trained. although i do notice that he can get a little distracted. but no worries! my sd does to.

my psychology textbook is 2017 edition and my professor gives us the test with old information from DSM IV ... :((

I just wonder why the lady holding the microphone didn't offer it to the lady with the dog, we might have liked to hear her better as well. That is annoying.

thank you so much 😀

if only my dog was that trainable

I am on the spectrum. I have been looking into trying to get an Autism assistance dog to help me cope with some situations. Does anyone know if they will wake you due to smoke alarms as well? That is a bigger priority for me since I am very rarely woken by noise.

give her the mic..

That's great! I have a chocolate lab that whenever I get upset, he comes to me and acts similar to Milo. That's what caused me to search for this type of video. He would of been an awesome service dog. He calms me down whenever I'm upset. It's really something.

Milo is adorable: I'd love to have a service dog like him one day :)

Rebecca reminds me so much of my daughter. My daughter is only 11 right now. I hope my daughter can be as independent as rebecca one day!

I have more light sensitivity and sensory overload with that and shaking (mimic seizure without the loosing consciousness) but also have issues with speaking in a panic attack or similar like she does. I also have a service dog. She also tells me of crosswalks cuz Ive not always payed attention and almost been hit by cars and trains. She knows "left" "right" "strait" as sometimes the light makes me unable to see well if its really strong (ontop of astigmatism in both eyes). She also knows "up up" for deep pressure support. She also can take me out of buildings when I feel I can't leave a situation on my own or "freeze." She also can help me find my roommate in a store if she is with me and I get confused or take me home. She also gets up at common bus stops to look at me and ask if we are getting off. I also find it annoying that people think autism disappears when you become a adult. I have other issues too and she does other things also. For Memory issues / PTSD / Mobility.

What a good dog! I'm a similarly autistic (and i want to slap whoever started yelling when she was talking about auditory overload..), but we don't have autism service dogs in my country.

Thank you for posting this. I am on the spectrum, and have a very talented dog (who is just an ordinary Kelpie who adopted me when she was a puppy.). I didn't realize that pressure is soothing for me, but it is. So, I just taught my dog the "up" trick to lean in on me, and I taught her the nudge trick which is a variation of things she already does. She is really good at reminding me when food is on the stove, because I forget, and she keeps me on task, because I can hyper-focus.too much.

I was discouraged at first, reading about service dogs for people with ASD... I'm also high functioning. But this makes me more hopeful. ^^ I think it would help me to have one at some point c:

Thank you for sharing your story, and for making this video. You are helping so many. I truly appreciate your courage and openness. Milo is lucky to have you, and you him.

Awww...so sweet. I also love when she drops the keys and signals for Milo to get them - and another SD on the sidelines moves forward to pick them up haha

Wonderful! Thank you for sharing.

That was a really excellent demo! Good Job!

Awesome team!!!! It's good to see information on Autism Assistance Dogs for young adults.
