That your white German Shepherd? Awesome dog, German Shepherd's are the best breed.
And thanks for the training videos, I have a GSD who's not an autism service dog but I might try some of that training anyway.

me too! I am OBSESSED with the breed! and thank you. if you can train your dog tasks to help you mitigate or cope with your autism and the dog is well behaived you can owner train your dog to be your service dog. the tasks must be designed to help you with your disability. ie Nim alerts to meltdown now she alerts me to sounds I am blocking out if I absorbed into my specail intrest. stops me from walking out into the street when I am off in my own world.
how old is your dog?

They've been my favourite breed ever since I was a kid. Love their looks and personality. I never got a German Shepherd growing up because I had no money and I didn't know much about training and taking care of them. But I do now so I started considering getting one earlier this year. I looked up a breeder in my town but they only have one litter a year and they all get sold out before they're even born. There's a good breeder about 40 minutes away from me but their puppies cost $2000. 
I was going to check them out in real life anyway but then I looked for other litters one more time and found out there was a new litter from a breeder a few minutes away from me. I went there a few times, picked one out and just brought him home a couple of weeks ago. He's 10 1/2 weeks now. It's been even more difficult than I thought it would be, he can be a bit whiny, plays too rough at times and he chews and eats EVERYTHING. It's worth it once you have a highly trained dog though.
Here he is at 9 weeks.

Yes from everything I've heard it's a bit like having a human baby except German Shepherd's mature and grow up much faster. I can't wait until he gets more shots so I can take him everywhere. And his name is Kepler, named him after an astronomer.

Well I've taken him on lots of car rides, carried him down the street and a bit and carried him around a few schools that my sisters go to. I don't let him run around though because I'm worried he'll get something like parvo.
How long till he gets his shots? also puppies have a passive imunity do disease passed down from thier mother in the first milk you have to get a few shots series because it is impossible to know when the passive imunity wears off and the shots will be uneffective till it does. to avoid parvo av oid dog parks but you HAVE to let him walk on the ground it is extremely important.

if you train your dog tasks to help mitigate your disability he or she is a service dog but it is a feloney to put a vest on a pet dog and call them a service dog. a service dog needs to be task oriented and trained to help you with you disability. again this is easy to do.
brain stor you biggest challanges
then come up with something your dog can be trained to do to help you with it

He's getting his third set in a week. I think people start taking their dogs to places around the third or fourth set from what I've heard. I'm going to ask my vet about it.

I appreciate it would be naughty to just have the coat
I'm not sure what any of mine could be trained to do that would be helpful other than keep me company which probably isn't enough to qualify
