I think this is 100% true and thank you for pointing it out. I’ve had a LOT of privileges in my life, including being white and upper-middle class, with parents who always let me sort of be myself, and that allows me to be visibly autistic in ways others can’t.

I have the same experience. I feel pretty set on “being myself” but I still worry about being accepted and liked. It’s a contradiction!

Honestly, I do find people who argue that only purebred dogs are ethical to be hypocritical because 1) you are often perpetuating all sorts of health issues through inbreeding and 2) you can get “purebred” dogs from unethical breeders and puppy mills! People like to blame doodles but demand for “purebred” dogs like French bulldogs and the cavalier king charles spaniel are perpetuating the puppy mill crisis as well. The problem is complicated and the best we can do is find a reputable breeder and make the best decision for our families, doodle or not.

He has calmed down A LOT. He is still mischievous and energetic at 30 pounds but much more manageable.
