There are specially trained assistance dogs for children with autism and I think I read somewhere that some are being trained to support kids with ADHD, but I can’t find anything on that at the moment.
If you want a calm dog, an older rescue with a known history might be a good choice. If you want a dog that isn’t phased by loud, bounciness, maybe a young energetic dog would be good.
I agree that cats are a great option. Ours are rescue cats that are just indifferent to the noise, unless the twirling levels shoot up then they just calmly wander out to lie somewhere else in the house. But they let the kids sit and stroke them and it does have a little calming influence.
