Autism Awareness Month

In honor of April being Autism Awareness Month, the Chicago Tribune has published an article entitled "The Best Places to Live if You Have Autism." The article discusses a recent list distributed by an organization called Autism Speaks, based on the following criteria: Places most often cited by survey respondents for best availability of services and resources, including educational offerings and recreational and medical services. The top 10 cities were top 10 were New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Cleveland, Philadelphia, Boston, Northern New Jersey, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Seattle and Milwaukee. Ohio ranked as one of the lowest states in the ratings. What could Ohio do to improve Autism care? What should parents be looking for when they seek a good place to live for their child who has Autism?
