What trained task is the dog going to perform for an autistic person that will make it a service dog?[/quote]

Danielle Jacob's service dog was trained to soothe her when she self harmed:

Sadly, Jacob was killed by police a year later when she threatened self harm, police were called to the scene and she had a knife in her hands.  BTW, it is not the first time a person threatening suicide with a weapon has been shot dead by police.  That, sadly is procedure.  Police can't risk harm to themselves, even when it is obviously a person in mental distress or a teen/child.  I'm not trying to stir up a police debate.  But the initial clip of the dog calming her down is very touching.  However, reports of her death will also pop up and I didn't want you to receive any unpleasant surprises.  It's just very sad.
