Is evidence that autistic children, or with some delay problems in the process of maturation can establish good relationships with animals and build emotional ties that might find it more with people. Recent research undertaken with autistic children and published in the First International Congress Man and Animals Company: Health Benefits, shows that the presence of, for example, between a dog and a child therapist helps their relationship, because the child responds clearly to the presence of the animal.
Despite its low level of communication with the outside, the child can get out of their isolation, if only for a moment, captivated by the movement and sound of the dog. Gradually it is capable of entering the game (throw balls, brush, caress) together with the therapist. Another case are dolphins, with their sympathy, intelligence and affection, have achieved what other therapies have failed: that autistic children are open to the world thanks to the people who cherish and jump along with them with infinite tenderness and care.
