I have 3 kids, 4 , 2 and 1. The eldest is autistic and non verbal. The second kid does not stop talking even makes 4 word sentences. The third kid has is doing great with his skills. I had moved back to India to get more support but realised he will not be admitted into the school and would go just for therapy.

I am considering moving back to US. Which state should I consider moving to for autism related services. I was in Chicago and wait time for ABA was a lot.

I know things were delayed post-COVID for autism clinical diagnosis, but I wasn’t aware of wait times for ABA. I think it should be similar for all states, but I have heard that CO, NY, NJ, and MA are very supportive states for kids with special needs. Early intervention is most helpful in the case of autism, so I would recommend getting added to the waitlist of the center you like and, in parallel, enrolling wherever they have a slot. You can cold call ABA centers and ask them if they have availability. Along with ABA, speech therapy, OT, and PT might also be helpful. Lastly, check out this book, which teaches how to manage behavior issues.
