Asperger Pets
Today I, Ethan Stranger, will be discussing… “Pets” , we know them, we love them, sometimes even hate them, but they’re ours and are part of our families. So let’s get started. A pet (obviously) is a domesticated or tamed animal kept for companionship or pleasure, but pets can also help those with various disabilities. Some people with disabilities struggle to make human friends and the feeling of loneliness can very quickly creep in and stay. Often, whenever neurodiverse try to make actual human friends, it can lead to awkwardness or to rejection - and most of the time we won't really understand why . So, allow me, Ethan Stranger, to tell you the story of my pet dog, Chewie & what really makes him more like a special brother to me than an actual pet. So the Dog that you see in the picture above, that’s Chewie (Picture, Top Center) , in his Halloween Costume, as “Simba, from The Lion King.” Now, allow me to give you the backstory as meeting Chewie was quite an adventure....
