Is anybody familiar with Austin, Texas?

A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭
Round Rock, TX

I have been fasting for the past three weeks asking God to show me what He wants me to do in my new career as a medical technologist. I feel called to Austin, Texas.

Is there anybody that is familiar with Austin? Services for ASD children. I have an 8-year old girl with Asperger's and ADHD. She currently needs OT and speech therapy and she has an IEP. Traffic. Jobs. Anything and everything. I'd like to get the perspective of somebody who either lives there or grew up there.

Members shared mixed experiences with special needs services in Austin and Round Rock, Texas, with some praising Round Rock schools as top-tier for special needs while others described frustration with program closures and unprepared teachers. Several members recommended Connect Care for in-home occupational, speech, and physical therapy covered by insurance, and emphasized researching costs beyond housing since Austin's overall cost of living is significantly higher than other Texas cities. A recurring theme was trusting personal instinct and faith when making a major move, with members encouraging the original poster to follow their calling while doing thorough research on schools and services.

Thank you @A MyAutismTeam Member. We registered our daughter with an elementary school in the Round Rock school district.

The elementary school that my daughter is enrolled in through the Round Rock School District is fully equipped to teach my daughter what she needs to know despite her having autism. I've personally interviewed the Director of Special Needs at the school and she has my fullest confidence.
