I'm looking for the best southern state with the best resources. We're trying not to move back to Ohio, but we're not receiving much help where we're at.

Not southern but I saw one individual say they were considering moving north. I can say that having my child involved with MMCC (Margaret Murphys Center for Children) has been awesome in Maine. We… read more

Can Anyone Just Explain How It Works Moving To Anywhere In The Raleigh North Carolina Area With An Autistic Child?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

How did you get him/her into school, private or public, and how is it going? I understand that there are no actual autism schools as there are in Florida, but I am trying to figure out how public school is system works in North Carolina. Separate classes, different teachers, etc.

Public Schools With Autism Support In Hamilton, GA
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hello all,

We are looking to move closer to my husband's in-laws in the Hamilton, GA area. My son has great support here in our public school district, but finding resources has been difficult as there are long waitlists and even "interest" lists. Does anyone have any experience in the Hamilton, GA area with Autism support in the public schools and how available are out of school resources? Any information would be much appreciated!

Autistic 5YO In Kindergarten
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

My son started kindergarten last week and he has a paraprofessional. It's been a rough start, my son is pulling things of shelves, makes noises and even kicked some people in the classroom. He's not violent with us, so this has to be related to being overwhelmed
Unfortunately his para is not trained to deal with autistic behaviors and the teacher doesn't seem to want to deal with the situation (I get it, she has many other kids to teach). Have any of your kids struggled in kindergarten? Did it… read more

Regular Or Specialized School
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

My 7-year-old autistic son is high-functioning and goes to grade 1 in a regular school and regular class. He has some challenges with paying attention, sitting, and following some rules but he is doing well academically. His teacher has told us we should consider sending him to special classes in other schools. We feel that the teacher's advice is mostly for her comfort rather than the benefit of our child. Any advice on what should be our strategy toward this problem?

My son attends regular school, but he has a IEP (Individualized Education Plan) & other support/resources available for him. I think if the school can't accommodate your son's needs then consider… read more

Autism And School
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hello. My autistic son turned 7 and I know he’s supposed to start school. The schools in our area do not have enough support/resource for him. He was referred to a private school for autism but he is on the waiting list and 4th in that list. They said realistically it may take 4 years to make it to the top of the list. What do we do in the meantime? If he can’t start school until years later, how will he be at “grade level”? Also, how does grade level and state testing work with children who… read more

@kgates-when the twins were little and a school in Chicago did not have an autism class or any support, I campaigned to get all of that started in this school on the south side. OMG it was so hard. I… read more

Is Public School Or Charter School Better For Kindergartner With Autism In NYC
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

Grandson is 4recently diagnosed with autis. He will be starting kindergarten in Sept. He is supposed to be attending a charter school not sure if that's best. The other option is public school

A MyAutismTeam Member

If that Charter school can provide things like speech/ occupational therapy/ Physical therapy theses are the services that children on the Autism Spectrum need. Best of luck😊
