Where is the best area to live in for services for kids (age 6) with autism?

I currently have my son (age 6) in a private ABA school where he is finally making progress. We may be moving to BC area and can choose which school to go to. We haven't chosen a residence yet.....where should we go and why?

HI. I"m not from Michigan, but I have a child with other special needs. Even on the spectrum, I know there can be vast differences between a child with Asperger's versus other types of autism. I'd recommend that you join a local support group for parents (through www.autismspeaks.org or www.autism-society.org) and network through those families to find out about the best schools and other resources in the community.
For general support, you might also like to join Greatschools Autism Parents Group at community.greatschools.net/groups/18940
