He only has it if he's been formally diagnosed by an expert.

Ha ha ha.

We had a dog that was ADHD hyperactive. Any time he got any attention or stimulation he went berserk. When we put his food out he'd dance around barking at it for about half an hour. And then walk away and let the cat eat it. He had a very friendly nature, but just nuts.

Psychological conditions are not only seen in humans.

I have had an ocd cat and a sociopathic cat.

I think animals really are on the spectrum! Anyhow, maybe your dog can join the Wrong Planet? You've got a cool dog.

My cat is fixated with parts of objects, does not like change, sticks to routine,is sensitive to loud sounds, and uncomfortable around strangers. I think my cat is an Aspie too!

Though my cat has not been evaluated by a professional, so I can't really know for sure.
Maybe I should make an appointment for him? :lol:

Actually, some veterinarians are beginning to diagnose dogs with autism... http://www.vetinfo.com/dog-autism-symptoms.html

Quote:

Dogs with autism may not display any symptoms or the symptoms are very subtle and may not be recognized.

However, some dogs with autism may show some symptoms. The main symptoms of dog autism include:

Dysfunctional interaction with other dogs or owner
Restricted behavior, as autistic dogs may only limit themselves to performing only a few moves avoiding new moves and games
Repetitive actions. Dogs with autism tend to have a routine they like to stick to.
Apathy and inability to communicate joy, fear or other feelings
Lack of activity, even if the breed is a high energy dog

I was going to be serious and answer that dogs are pack animals and see you as a different type of dog. Hence, it's common for dogs to mimic the mannerisms of the family in which they reside.

Yes but the Aspie dog would not pick up on that social cue. :lol:
