I'm going to try taking him back to this same dog park a few more times, so that hopefully he can get more comfortable there. I'm excited about the progress he's made so far from ignoring other dogs to at least giving them a few sniffs.

However, autism has not been scientifically documented in dogs and your dog may be bored w one dog park group and strangers w another group of dogs. As they age they get health problems that slow them down and the hormones that cause your dog to mark everywhere also causes him to take life more seriously. Puppies have a special smell that tells other dogs to go easy on them; when the lose that smell the best behaved dogs just ignore strangers in their territory. As an aspie i take what you write literally; so, if you're joking somewhat, sorry for not laughing and replying in a serious way.
