Brooklyn hipsters aren't vaccinating their dogs because they think it'll give them dog autism, which does not exist

The article itself quotes a vet who also is doubtful:
“I had a client concerned about an autistic child who didn’t want to vaccinate the dog for the same reason,” said Dr. Stephanie Liff of Clinton Hill’s Pure Paws Veterinary Care. “We’ve never diagnosed autism in a dog. I don’t think you could.”
I'm not interested in whether vaccines can cause autism (there's lots of questions on this site already about that), but in Alex's claim that autism doesn't exist in dogs.
Can dogs have autism?
