My puppy dog is bi-polar and can’t bark.

In other words, dumb dogs are not dumb.
They are neuro-divergent.

More ways for rich people to spend their money on animal psychologists, and for poor, impressionable people to worry.

I guess we can’t say our pets are stupid, or strange, any longer.

Nah, I still will!

How to tell if your dawg is autistic:

1) He makes software for the fun of it.

2) She organizes her food kernels in order by size.

3) He quotes statistics of his favorite frisbee team for the past 10 years.

“Is your dog autistic?”

No. He’s retarded.

Slightly Off Topic:

A few weeks ago, I saw a short segment of British singer Annie Lennox (from Eurythmics) being interviewed. She stated that she had just recently been diagnosed as ‘Neurodivergent’, and raved how this diagnosis helped to ‘explain so much’ about her life. She seemed overjoyed and relieved.

Seemed to me she was getting a bit carried away with some random ‘Specialist’ giving his point of view. She’s been an immensely successful singer and entertainer.
Just being part of the entertainment world can frazzle one’s nerves. That kind of anxiety does not have to mean that you have some kind of ‘condition’ one that you probably need to start taking pills for.

We have a half-Great Pyrenees that pretty much ignores any commands. She does respond to sweet talk though.
