Dogs hate my youngest child. I mean, they hate him. Frothing at the mouth, heaving-sides, trying-to-jump-the-fence instant hate. I don't understand it, he loves dogs. He doesn't act aggressive towards them at all, doesn't even open his mouth most of the time before the ruckus starts. Just wondering if other parents have experience with this or other odd, unexplained things?
By the way, we found a dog. Ironically, after starting out small, we ended up with... you'll love this... an English Mastiff!!! Great temperament, and she is awesome with my children. Fights over her spot on the couch with them, lol, but loves them despite their propensity for spot-thievery :). Weighing in so far at 182 pounds with a year left to grow still (I'm hoping she only gains like 5 more pounds, lol), I would recommend the breed to everyone despite the size. Huge heart, natural habit of blocking with their body, which is great for helping contain an eloping child :) and no worries about a mastiff running away as they love to stick close to their family. Ok, enough w/ the Colgate style dog commercial, please reply if you have an oddity to share.... :)
Oooh, I forgot to mention how sometimes he takes an instant dislike to people and they can not do anything to make him like them. For example my sister's new boyfriend... Billy was almost 2... the boyfriend picked him up and he attacked him. Biting, kicking, pulling hair, you name it he did it to Rodney, who was truly confused and affronted by the outburst and didn't know how to respond. My sister married Rodney, the boyfriend, and at age 6 Billy will not touch him, talk to him, in fact he leaves the room if he sees him. There wasn't any wrongdoing and this has happened with 5 people so far.
My lil one is not comfortable with ppl who have depression, or a impatient, or have anxiety. Or if there is a fight and everyone is tense he goes off in a tantrum and we think is for no reason... is like he really feels everything everyone is feeling...
He knows when he is going to the doc. IDK how he does this, but he knows everytime, not because he knows the way there, but from when he wakes up, idk if he picks up on things being different that day, but knows.. its creepy

AMAZING YES . As with knowing same here with my son he knows where we put things to hide from him , how he find them is beyond are comprehension l.o.l ... I do no he understands every word we say , being severely autistic with my Kyle not being able to respond back to us with his words it took me many years to see just how much he really does no , EVERYTHING , I have said it before are children are gifted in so many ways there gifts' they are many , finding the one your child has you will start seeing as they get a little bit older , ODD enough to say they all have a form of Genius in them , just getting it out . Non verbal kiddos' too feel so much more then we no . as the one saying go's ( Being able to talk is not the same as not having nothing to say !! ) TA DA ........

I'm not sure if this is an oddity but my autistic 14 year old son (who was diagnosed at 3 1/2-4) within literally 2 minutes,yes,we've times him actually! lol! yes i know strange for us to time him i was just really curious. can size up any person well,within 2 minutes of meeting them. even i it's family. he can figure out what kind of mood your in and how you've been acting that day-or how your going to be acting through out the day. he's been able to do this since he's been about 4. i didn't really time him until he was like 12-13. i only timed him because it seemed so fast. he had no idea i was timing him and i only did it that once. that's one of oddities..if that's even considered an oddity.

Exactly same thing w/ my Kyle too , I didn't time him thow L.O.L HAHA .... Yes they are very perceptive to others' emotions', facial expressions', moods . Just last night when we were laying there to go to sleep , NOT KIDDING YOU I was thinking about a friend of mine and her Daughters little hat I had bought for her for Xmas and Kyles' just blurts out Sammies' presants' WOW OK WOW I just said to Kyle you no exactly what Mommy is thinking and just laid there in awh !!!!! Remember my son was non verbal no words until the age of 7 , now he is saying sentances' and using words in the proper way to where he is being very clear with his feelings or thoughts ... He still can't tell me if he is hurting or if he is in pain ect , But the gifts that all of are Children have are amazing again i did say amazing .......... Kyle also has a clock in his head he would be outside swimming and right when Wheel of fortune came on he would fly in the house to watch it .... THEY ARE all are little Genius's even if they are not able to talk once again doesn't mean they don't have anything to say hey hey hey .. Good Morning mamas' ...........Thanks for sharing I love it ............ 
Dogs sense things in people. They are much smarter than we give them credit for.....and a mastiff, who is a natural protector and very dedicated, should be listened to!
I have an autistic grandson and dogs in general do not like him, or will just simply have nothing to do with him. He has a dog at his home though, who is devoted to him and one of our dogs trys to stay out of his way, but is gentle with him. So dogs sense the the behavioral upsets that autistic children have and kind of radiate.
Dogs are often a lot smarter than people......I truley believe that!
With autism they can feel people , sense there moods' , there are many friends of mine Kyle will not even come out of the room or open the door for them to say hi too , Since he is getting much older it isn't as severe as it was with him slamming the door in some of the people I have had over here l.o.l but we must remember they can feel good vibes' bad vibes', I take note of how a person is when my son response this way to them ha .......... Kyle is always 100% right in the end .... Or for example of friend of mines daughter came over she was NOT doing well in her life Kyle kept telling or screaming for her to leave ... He loves her if she was to come now and be happy with him sensing her calmness and love he would open the door for her and give her a great big hugs .... So many of times when there is someone who does come to the house distress or depressed I don't let them near my son or let Kyle hear there voice period ........... EXTRA SENSE IS A GIFT THEY ALL HAVE .............. OR MANY OTHER GIFTS you will see as they grow older it is amazing to watch and see are Children in action l.o.l ..........
