California
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hi, can anyone tell me which is the best State for adult autism services? I am in Illinois and having a very difficult time. I should have hired a lawyer years ago but chose to get free legal help which was a big mistake. Please folks get an advocate! Educators with masters degrees will ignore your child and say " there is nothing wrong with him". It is a cruel and heartless world!
