Members offered specific guidance to a family relocating to South Carolina seeking the best resources for their child with autism, with the strongest recommendation being Lexington School District 1, which offers pre-K programs for children with special needs and autism. Several members shared practical tips including using the district's website to verify school zoning before renting, checking Autism Speaks' provider directory for schools in South Carolina, and considering nearby Aiken for its autism programs and access to a developmental pediatrician in Augusta who specializes in autism. A recurring theme was the community's excitement and support for this family's fresh start, with members expressing hope that the move would bring better resources and brighter days ahead.

This may not be much help now, but in the future, if you moved up the coast A.I. Dupont has a good reputation for helping kids with a myriad of problems, and in DE, (I've been told) that it doesn't cost the parents anything. Just sayin'. :)
