Hi. I was wondering if any of you have any experience with poodles being around people with autism. My sister has a mild form of autism and my new toy poodle does not like her. The mini poodle I had years ago also didn't like her. This isn't a huge problem since he isn't being aggressive. I just want to know what I should expect ( I realize that all dogs are different.)

I decided on a poodle because my daughter is autistic. Poodles are a very perceptive breed and can read a human being better then any breed of dog IMO. If a dog is NOT accustomed to a certain person (specifically an autistic person) from puppyhood it might not understand WHAT its perceiving exactly. It might be confused and therefore wary around your autistic sister. Just keep using positive reinforcement, asking your sister to give your pup treats and such. I truly wish you luck!
