Description: We truly don't deserve dogs! They're cute, they're lovable, and for thousands of families around Ireland, they're changing lives. [audio mp3="https://media.radiocms.net/uploads/2021/10/26132025/AutismDog_2610.mp3"][/audio] Autism Assistance Dogs Ireland are training dogs to help children with autism in their daily lives. The dogs are trained to keep the children safe when out and about, reducing the risk of 'bolting' as well as helping to promote a sense of calmness.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Autism Assistance Dogs Ireland (@autismdogsirl) Speaking to Dermot and Dave, Dorota Ryan from Wicklow explained the difference Autumn has made to her son Joseph.
