“My dog is non verbal, can’t recognize social cues and has to be told with predetermined language what to do. He gets extremely uncomfortable when he doesn’t get his walks on schedule and he has a single minded fascination with certain specific activities (sniffing butts).”
Seems unintuitive to me to use terms for human neurology for animals with diverse neurological forms but I’m not a zoologist so what the fuck do I know about any of this?
