Dogs can be wonderful for ADHD brains!
But a lot of these benefits depend on you having a good relationship with your dog, so make sure you choose one that’s right for you and your family. Do as much research ahead of time as possible and make sure you meet your new family member in person before you commit!

WARNING: There are many “registries” that are essentially scams. You do NOT need to register your emotional support animal, or have a vest or ID card for them. All you need is a letter from your doctor or therapist explaining why you need one.
For service animals, which autistic people often benefit from, you do not need a vest either, although many handlers choose to use one. What makes a service dog a service dog is the specialized training they go through to provide a specific task or tasks to assist with their handler’s disability and be able to behave in public places.
