Keira Boyce AD Noodle

“Hi! I’m handler to Noodle my fully-trained Autism Assistance Dog. Together we get through the challenges I face daily but we always come out stronger. Being an ambassador means a lot to me as I want to spread positive awareness about autism and the things that we can achieve, with our superdogs or even by ourselves!”

Cesca Huff AD Chutney

“I’m Cesca and my amazing Assistance Dog is called Chutney. I have had Chutney since May 2019 and he has completely transformed my life. Before Chutney I was in a very dark place and housebound due to my conditions, I was having extreme meltdowns a number of times a day, I was shutdown and overstimulated and couldn’t have people in the house because I was so anxious and even standing by the back door gave me an anxiety attack.

Since getting him I have managed to start exploring the world a little more, having less meltdowns and I am just so much happier with my best friend by my side and the support he gives me. “I am so honoured to have been asked to be an ambassador and to show what these amazing dogs can do and how they can transform the lives of autistic people and their families just like Chutney has done for me and my family.”

Victoria Sheppard AD Monty

“My name is Vic, my dog is called Monty, and we enjoy going on woodland walks together, I personally enjoy painting and gaming as well as reading. What being an ambassador means to me is spreading awareness about autism and helping those who may not feel as accepted by others in their diagnosis and what it means to have an Autism Assistance Dog.”

Jac Boyce mum to Keira Boyce who has Noodle

“Hi, I’m Jac and I’m autistic. I’m mother to Kiera who has Autism Assistance Dog Noodle. Being an ambassador means a great deal to me. Noodle is helping Kiera to navigate the world around her, and is making such a difference in our lives!“ I hope to draw on my own experience, and use my enthusiastic and sympathetic approach to help other parents and families navigate life with their own life-changing Assistance Dogs. It’s such an honor to be part of such an extraordinary team of people who have done so much for us as a family.”
