Default Hamsters for children with Autism?

I'm wondering if hamsters can be a good pet for children with Autism?

Obviously I realize that any pet for a child mean adults are responsible for the animal's welfare etc, but am unsure whether an Autistic child can cope with a pet? She does seem to have a connection with animals, and is extremely gentle. She is always supervized. One of her therapists sugested a pet as something to help her with responsibilities, and to help if she needs to self soothe and can't calm down otherwise. However I am unsure if a bigger animal might be better for this? She is 5 ... Thoughts would be appreciated!
