As a high-functioning, doggedly independent diagnosed autist: thanks a ton for your efforts. My parents did the best they could, and I'm uncomfortably aware of how much effort it must have taken at times to deal with my particulars. They never quite knew what they were dealing with, but they gave me unconditional love and support, and ultimately that's what mattered most, even if they failed at understanding my particular needs/quirks. I'm sure I gave them a hard time much of the time.

Other than that I'd suggest looking into health care in other western nations. I'm being vague because I don't know your particulars, but so far I've been quite impressed by the support provided in Europe for people on the spectrum. It's not ideal, but it's affordable and the quality seems alright so far.

If there's nothing in particular keeping you in one place, and if you can find work elsewhere, it could be worth exploring expat life if you have one or more autistic children. And it could be great for yourself too.

Thank you. We already moved from Canada to the US precisely because of the support issue. While it could always be better, I should make it clear that Pennsylvania has been wonderful in its support so far.

However, you make a good point, and yes, we have no fear of moving as needed. Whatever it takes.
