Inexperienced - what dog? For therapy - autism

My youngest child has Autism, a PDA profile and we are on the waiting list for ADHD (likely to be diagnosed according to the Doctor who did her ASD assessment).

We are considering a dog but we are inexperienced. We live in a semi rural location but don't have a big garden. I would be free to take the dog on two walks a day. I also work from home in the main.

Any suggestions?

Maybe look at Borrow my Doggy, if they’re still going? Build a relationship with a dog without having them full time?
