On April 2nd, it’s World Autism Day, a day where we pay extra attention to autism and the unique way people with autism experience the world. Autism is not a limitation, but a different way of being. People with autism experience the world in a deep and sometimes intense way. In this blog, we want to reflect on the special bond that can develop between people with autism and rodents or rabbits.
Op 2 april is het Wereld Autisme Dag, een dag waarop we extra aandacht besteden aan autisme en de unieke manier waarop mensen met autisme de wereld beleven. Autisme is geen beperking, maar een andere manier van zijn. Mensen met autisme ervaren de wereld op een diepgaande en soms intense manier. In deze blog willen we stilstaan bij de bijzondere band die kan ontstaan tussen mensen met autisme en knaagdieren of konijnen.

This challenges a previously held model of mouse behavior.
