Author
Lynndy Mobley
Summary
Dolphins and autism are often linked due to the shared affinity for the soothing sensation of water, making swimming with these creatures an extraordinary experience for those with autism. While Dolphin Assisted Therapy is promoted for its potential benefits, including sensory stimulation and dolphin interaction, it remains contentious, with some claims of curing autism lacking scientific evidence. High costs and limited accessibility further challenge its practicality as a long-term therapy option, leaving the pursuit of such sensory experiences in the dolphins' natural habitat as an alternative to consider.
