People often justify refusing my Guide Dog access on the basis of potential fear of dogs. But how does it work when someone is scared & we’re sharing a space? Well it happened just now on the tube. As I boarded a person with a young child gasped “I’m scared of dogs!”

@need_coffee_now Nobody would 'force' a young person with autism to make eye contact. You're talking nonsense.
I know I'm weird. More excited about the scarf than the dress 👗 Ah well 💁♀️
@TepicHarlequin Yes but when that interaction can be positive & educational that’s a good goal. That person may now feel more confident around guide dogs.
Is there anything else I can do to support people who are scared of dogs so I can share spaces with them safely?
As an assistance dog handler I have found that fear of dogs often comes from concerns about unpredictability. I can address specific fears about barking or biting or jumping. But I can also help by explaining what will happen & showing that Ava’s behaviour is calm & predictable
I held onto Ava’s collar as they got off (not necessary but adds reassurance). They even said “oh it’s ok don’t worry” when I offered to move her away so they could walk by us without Ava as close. I think Ava’s calm behaviour had helped them feel safer & less worried.
They apologised for being scared & I said it was ok. I then showed them pictures of Little One & Ava. We talked about how Ava helps me & Little One. They then started talking to their toddler about the doggy which was lovely! We also all played peekaboo raspberries 😝
The person gasped when I mentioned quick movement. So I explained “she is going to move quickly now but she is going under my legs she has to turn & go under to do this.” Ava then did the move under my legs. Immediately & calmly settled. Them: thank you. Me: no problem.
I sat down & prepared to get Ava under my legs. I kept reassuring & explaining. “She will not do anything, she will not come up to you. If you ignore her she will ignore you. I am going to get her to lie down under my legs now. She is going to move very quickly in a moment”
I had to get into my seat which meant Ava was stood near this person for about 30 seconds but I started talking very calmly. The person kept worriedly saying they were scared. “She is a highly trained dog, she will not jump or bark. I will move her as soon as I sit.”
People often justify refusing my Guide Dog access on the basis of potential fear of dogs. But how does it work when someone is scared & we’re sharing a space? Well it happened just now on the tube. As I boarded a person with a young child gasped “I’m scared of dogs!”
Dear neurotypicals: Needing other people to stare at your eyeballs just the right amount when you engage with them, is a disability accommodation.
Nearing the end of April, we will see a slight decrease in the 'cure autism now', quests for research into eugenics and warrior parent posts. Can't wait!
When CAMHS turned down my autistic then suicidal son a year ago, BECAUSE he is autistic; I knew they couldn't let them get away with it. I, with his permission, made a petition against CAMHS. #CAMHSinCrisis #CAMHSDontCareIfAutisticKidsDie change.org/p/child-and-ad… So far 211,764 +
This needs to be everywhere and scrutinised. If this is correct, the problem with CAMHS is worse for Autistic people than we ever imagines. #CAMHSDontCareIfAutisticKidsDie
