I really appreciate you getting back to me. However, for the moment i am still here in IL dreaming of the east coast.
@A MyAutismTeam Member Have you found yet what you were looking for? I know some involved parents in New Hampshire who I would be happy to connect you with if you're interested.
Also, here's a facebook group of over 600 parents in New Hampshire that would probably be a great resource to learn about various services in the state that might be options for you.
