Being on the Autism Spectrum can be very challenging at times. These famous people on the spectrum have been able to use their unique ways of viewing the world to achieve great success. Some of these people may surprise you. You might not have known that all these well-known stars are actually on the spectrum. This list just may prove to you that those with autism can stand out big in the world.

Research has shown that dogs can help children with autism develop socially. It put them in situations that involve communication skills which will boost their self-confidence. For example, If you are walking down the street alone no one may stop to talk to you but if you are  walking with a dog it's much more likely for someone to approach you.
