Hello everyone, I am servicedogrights25. I am fourteen years old and I was diagnosed with asperger's not too long ago. I am trying very hard to get a service dog because of my anxiety and AS. Not only do we need to raise five thousand dollars, but I myself must be able to control my meltdowns and anger. My parents are all for the idea, though.
So that's me. I love animals and own a mouse. My friend has a service dog and inspires me every day. He, too, has AS.
To those who live in Pa. or northern Virginia, if you are interested in a service dog, please go through Susquehanna Service Dogs. They are an excellent organization.

Welcome to Wrng Planet ServiceDogRights25! Check out the many interesting and helpful forums here. There are some for games, electronics, computers, and some specifically for young people. There are also some for general Autism discussion, and some for parents, so you might want to tell your parents about those.

Hope you get the service dog! You are among friends here at WP! :D

Welcome to WP! :) I also hope you get the service dog you want! This can be the perfect place to look for advice on controlling meltdowns, among other issues (if needed.) It can also just be a great place to "vent" if ever stress gets you down. :)
