      Here is Mew snuggling my son. She is the sweetest beardie. We adopted her from not the best environment

      Good for you, rescuing Mew. What is the origin of her name? Thor, perhaps?

          Got it! I should have known. Where did you rescue here from? No names, just in general.

          She was my son’s class pet. Teacher asked us if we wanted her since my son really bonded with her. We had no clue how to care for them, but once she came to us we learned from research that she did not have what she needed at all.

          I’ve noticed that some teachers take the time to do the research, and some just wing it. It’s a shame, and they mean well, but I wish more teachers would put in the effort to learn beforehand. Sort of modeling good behavior for their students, if you get my drift. Since you are a good researcher, but a bit new at this, don’t forget to read my care guide for beardies on this site.

          Is Mew now a permanent addition to your home? No need to return her to the classroom, I presume.

          Oh yes, she is here to stay. My son is very attached. My son is Autistic and has a special bond with her. She seems to calm him down and is his friend who will never reject him. We love her!

          That’s excellent news! You won’t regret it.

          You may wonder at my unusual moderator name that I go by on this forum. It is from my book “Zoodulcis: Our Fascination with Animals” that deals with a number of different topics concerning the importance of the human-animal bond to human well-being. The benefits for adults and children with ASD are mentioned, although the treatment is not exhaustive, by any means. If interested, you can find it on Amazon.
