We have a 8 yr old son with high functioning autism. We will be moving to Oklahoma in May. We prefer the Shawnee or Oklahoma city are but are willing to live anywhere close to that if they have good services. Can you tell me where the best autism services in this area are? Best schools for autism? We want as much information as possible. Right now we live in Texas and our son is getting very good services and want to know what we are heading for. Thanks so much

All that I know is that my son who has PDD.NOS has a friend who is MFA (at that time he is now more high functioning) that lived in Oklahoma City till age 5 and the services were terrible because his parents think the services here in DE are great and they really aren't, they stink.

I am not sure about the services in OKC. You can contact the local okc autism chapter in okc . Their website is here http://www.asofok.org. I am sure someone their can give you good information. I live in the Mustang/Yukon area and I am not sure about the services in Mustang Schools but most people move to Mustang due to the school system and my neighbor 2 doors down has a special needs child who attends in the Mustang schools system and I believe her daughter is autistic. If you determine this may be a good area for you I am also trying to sell my home due to my family getting larger situation and offering a good deal on it because I am moving out in 45 days and it will be empty . You can see the home I have at www.2108dogwood.com and if you like what you see you can also contact the school at http://www.mustangps.org/specialeducation.html or call Debbie Beel at 405-376-2461 or who is the director.
