Best dog breed for 6 year old with autism and adhd

[Elizabeth0712]

Hi there,
I’m wondering if anyone can help as I’m going round in circles with this. We’ve decided we’d like a family dog and believe it would benefit our family lots. We have two DD aged 8 & 6, our 6 year old has recently been diagnosed with autism and adhd. She struggles with boundaries & space, often doesn’t listen particularly when excited and is quite full on altogether. She suffers from anxiety quite a bit too. We want a dog who will be patient with her.
I’m wondering if anyone has any experience with dogs and autistic & adhd children and what breeds they would recommend. The internet is telling me golden retrievers or labs but I’ve heard mixed reviews on labs.

I grew up with three dobermans, they were lovely but I don’t think they would work for us as a breed.

thanks in advance x

we have a miniature poodle in our ND household. He has been perfect for us - matches his energy to ours, when one of us has struggled he seems to instinctively know what we need and can walk for as short or as long as I need to reset my brain (equally happy with 30 mins or more than 3 hrs, and when needed happy to just cuddle on the sofa all day too)

best thing we did was get our boy
