At this point we are willing to move wherever services are… read more

Hi dear fellow parents
I wish to hear your thoughts and opinions as I am still undecided, even though every case is different, all opinions will be highly appreciated.

About my son -

- Diagnosed at around 3 yrs old, high functioning autism.
- Some very mild stimming behavior… read more
