I am going to assume that by 'autism dogs' you're referring to service dogs used by Autistic people.

Service dogs can be used simply to help keep a person calm, an Autistic person may be more prone to anxiety so having a dog to pet can keep them calm and service dogs can be trained to spot signs of meltdown in order to comfort an Autistic person to prevent meltdown. In Autistic children dogs often provide companionship, when children do not have many friends a dog can help them deal with social isolation and improve confidence which has an overall benefit to their health.
