Can animals have autism

Yes, they can. It is sometimes mistaken as being crazy, or being too rambunctious and dogs have been given away because of this misunderstanding. Medication can be given to at least lessen this behavior and calm the dogs down. Some breeds, however, such as Border Collies, are naturally hyper. These dogs simply need lots of exercise. Make sure you research the breed of your dog before diagnosing him with ADHD. If it is a mixed breed, research the most predominant breed according to the dog's looks and appearance. Some dogs simply need a walk or two to get all their energy out. So yes, dogs can have ADHD, but sometimes it is just pent up energy that needs to get out.
