Dogs’ eyes are normally large in size and they need lots of exercise
The number of times they are seen in an area that should be quiet is often much higher than actually was
A dog whose eyes are large can often be seen running at night – even under strong daylight lights
One study found that dogs with large eyes can easily be mistaken for someone with autism
Dogs that are too big are also more likely to be given attention that’s unwanted
Studies have shown that dogs with large eyes are often mistaken for someone with autism
A lack of attention can result in social difficulties such as anxiety, obsessive behaviour, poor food preference, aggression and fear
If you want to learn to spot if you think you have a dog with autism, it’s probably not the dog’s size that you are looking for.
People with dogs have been known to confuse a person with autism – such as blindfolding and putting their hand down their dog’s mouth, or putting a blanket over the dog’s nose.
But is it the dog’s eyes that they are trying to distinguish? Experts disagree about what causes the eye problem.

In the UK, a dog’s eye-size is not measured by its hair colour – rathe영양출장마사지 영양출장샵r, the amount of pigment in the eye.
This pigm로투스 홀짝ent, known as iris pigment epithelium (IPE), determines the size of the individual’s pupil and is more common in dogs with bigger eyes than in those who lack them.
A study from the University of New South Wales (UNSW), published in the British Veterinary Journal in 2014, looked at eye length and the colour of the animal’s iris pigment epithelium to see if eye size was associated with IPE levels in dogs.
It found that the longer the animal’s eye length, the higher its levels of iris pigment epithelium.
That means a dog whose eye-length is longer than half its body weight can be recognised as having both an underdeveloped ey안산출장샵e and a developing iris.
If someone believes their dog has the eye problem they can try taking eye colour into account when taking their pet to see their GP.
