Animals have long served humans in a working capacity but they have also served as companions and thus, many humans have a bond with animals. Several studies have demonstrated the health benefits of animals on certain ailments and health conditions. While there have been some studies showing the effectiveness of therapeutic riding and hippotherapy on children with disabilities, there has only been one study to date that has evaluated the effects of therapeutic horseback riding (TR) on children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), yielding tentative positive results in social motivation, sensory seeking/sensitivity, and less distractibility and inattention. The current study sought to expand and partially replicate the previous study to determine possible further effects of therapeutic horseback riding in children with ASD related to social reciprocity, anxiety, repetitive behaviors, and quality of life. Significant main effects were found for TR on social responsiveness and repetitive behaviors, but not for anxiety or quality of life. Implications and limitations of the current study are discussed..

Nearly everyone knows someone on the autism spectrum, whether it's a niece or nephew, a student in their classroom, a coworker, or a sibling, spouse, or child. One in 54 children has autism, according to the CDC, and autism is reported across racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups. Yet most of what people think they know about autism is wrong. On the Spectrum debunks myths with a realistic yet hope-filled deep dive into the heart, mind, and life of a Christian. Daniel Bowman, a novelist, poet, and professor, received an autism diagnosis at age thirty-five after experiencing crises in his personal and professional life. The diagnosis shed light on his experience in a new, life-giving way. In this captivating book, Bowman reveals new insights into autism, relationships, faith, and the gift of neurodiversity. Rather than viewing autism as a deficiency, Bowman teaches readers--through stories of his heartbreaks and triumphs--authentic ways to love their neighbors as themselves, including their autistic neighbors who are fearfully and wonderfully, if differently, made.
