My dog has symptoms of autism and Tourette's syndrome.
Barked: Fri Oct 26, '12 7:40pm PST  Milo is six now. He is a
good boy and of all my many dogs he has been by far the easiest
to train and the smartest overall. He is a Maltese. He never
makes eye contact. He shows hardly any affection at all, and
what he does show has only been in the last year or so--rarely
wags his tail, never gives doggie kisses. He is very sensitive
to touch and at night when he's sleeping with us he seems to be
very afraid we will roll on him, so he is constantly growling is
we move so much as a toe. He also has times when he starts
licking his nose and can hardly seem to stop. This seems to
occur when he is excited or nervous about something. He does
this several times a day and each time can last up to ten
minutes. He's the weirdest dog I've ever had. Anyone got any
ideas... Kali earned- her wings- 10/21/14  She's game for-

you sure he's just not aloof and independent
