Animals can provide a calming and grounding presence, helping individuals with autism manage stress, anxiety, or overwhelming emotions. Interacting with an animal can promote relaxation and a sense of safety. Animal-assisted therapy can improve social skills by providing opportunities for social interaction. Animals are often a bridge for communication, encouraging engagement and reducing barriers to connection for those who struggle with social cues and language.
