Pet ducks help calm boy with autism

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

Dylan Dyke, a 12-year-old with autism, spends time with his ducks, Bill and Nibbles, outside his Georgetown Township home on Thursday, Aug. 2, 2018. A doctor designated the birds as emotional support animals. After some neighbors complained, the township ordered the removal of the ducks because the property's zoning doesn't allow for the animals. The family is seeking a variance.

    This should be titled, "When ducks are better people than actual people." Look at how calm and regal they are around that boy. It is like they know and are telepathically telling the boy, "Don't worry we will not judge or hurt you like people do." 🤗🥰

    Don't the neighbors have compassion? 😥I have neighbors who have chickens, cats, dogs, all sorts of pets... and never once I complain about them. I appreciate our nonhuman animals the services they provide for us humans. They enrich our lives. Even the bees in my yard (nonaggressive little fellows really) are appreciated and cared for. I had ducks growing up and I know what they can offer as companions. 🥰So good that boy found someone he could connect on a deeper level and overcome his obstacles. I hope those ducks live long enough to give him as much love and attention he needs to help him. I'm currently saving up to get a turtle/tortoise as a companion. It is a lonely world out there when you are born differently from other humans, and other humans don't understand you. I wish him the best.

    They are very sweet and feeling animals with complex emotions. We sell them at my job at a farm supply store, and i take the injured/lame ones home so they can live happily and peacefully. I did it at first because i felt it was just the right thing to do, but as i grew to know them, i realized just how smart and loving they are. They bond with you and want your attention like any dog or cat, and are very relaxing to come home to after a long day of work. This boy has hit the jackpot of emotional support animals, and it’s a shame that other people (as per usual) are trying to take that away.

    It is now evident that animals are able to calm the stress of children with autism. They allow them to improve their ability to share with others around them. In any case, the presence of an animal always allows stress to be channeled and the child discovers that he is somehow responsible for the animal that is with him, he grows up and the link with the animal. gets stronger over time.
