Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko ngā tamariki o Ahitereiria e mamae ana i ngā pānga o te autism kei te whiwhi i tētahi ringa āwhina mai i ngā kuri āwhina. Ko te mate o Asperger me ētahi atu mate i runga i te autism spectrum e uaua ana ki te hunga e mate ana ki te mohio ki nga tohu hapori nui me te hanga hoa. Engari e whakaatu ana ngā rangahau hōu ka taea e ngā kuri te whakarato i te aroha, te aroha me te hoa e uaua ana mō te hunga e mate ana i te autism ki te mōhio, me te āwhina i ngā tamariki pēnei i a Jason Freeman, 11, ki te hanga hononga ki te ao. 'He rite ia ki te kaiāwhina, he kaiāwhina tino huruhuru,' e ai ki te whaea o Jason, a Tanya Freeman. Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. He hoa pai: Ko Brock he Golden Retriever i whakangunguhia e Assistance Dogs Ahitereiria ki te hoatu ki nga tamariki penei i a Jason te aroha, te aroha me te hoa kaore i te nuinga o te waa mai i o raatau hoa. Ko Brock he Golden Retriever i whakangunguhia e Assistance Dogs Ahitereiria kia hoatu ai ki nga tamariki penei i a Jason te aroha, te aroha me te hoa e kore e whiwhi mai i o raatau hoa. Kua kitea e te rangahau hou nga tamariki e mate ana i te Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) ka whai hua mai i nga mahi awhina kararehe. Ko te tikanga o tēnei ko te whai i tētahi kuri pēnei i a Brock hei āwhina ki te whakapai ake i ngā pūkenga pāpori o ngā tamariki autistic.. Kua whakamatauria nga kuri awhina ki te whakanui ake i te mana motuhake, te whakaiti i te whakawhirinaki ki nga kaitiaki tangata me te mahi hei kaipatu hukapapa nui hei awhina ki te wikitoria i te wehenga hapori. E tata ana ki te 230,000 nga Ahitereiria e whakaarohia ana he mate kei runga i te autism spectrum penei i a Asperger, na reira ka uaua ki te maarama ki nga tohu hapori noa me te reo tinana, na reira ka uaua ake te hanga hoa. I tēnei wā e tautoko ana a Assistance Dogs Ahitereiria i ngā whānau 55 me ngā tamariki autistic puta noa i Ahitereiria, ā, ahakoa ka whakaaro tonu koe ki ngā kuri āwhina e mahi ana i ngā mahi tinana, e ai ki a Ms Freeman, he nui ake te pānga o te tūranga a Brock ki te tautoko ā-hinengaro. 'Mēnā ka hoki mai a Jason i te kura, ā, ka āwangawanga, ka kaha rānei ki a ia ngā mea katoa, ka noho tonu a Brock ki a ia.' Kāore i a Jason te kaha ki te pānui i ētahi atu, ki te mōhio rānei ki te āhua o te tangata...
