Have you ever thought about how similar horses are to autistic kids? Honestly I never even comparing the two until started writing this essay but it makes sense. Why? Think it…. Autistic kids very alert sensitive highly intelligent also gullible naive unpredictable hyper-sensitive and hyper-specific. Many Autistics reveal their emotions through body language hold on traumatic experiences/memories most think in pictures. They require literal communication lighter more gentle training methods need be socialized. Kids with autism seek reassurance a repetitive award system. Most must gain trust before they become loyal you. scared by random silly things. Doesn’t that sound familiar? Horses same way!
