Home Staging In Nj

Question: I live in NJ &baby just diagnosed autistic, why NJ has so many cases?
I live in New Jersey, right accross the river from New York. My 21 month old baby boy just diagnosed with autism. Came on suddenly. Lost his speech, bangs his head and rocks, lines up shoes all day if you let him, does not respond to his name at all, stares at wheels on cars and the stroller wheels. We are starting Early Intervention for him and he will have therapy in my home twice a day. From everything I read, Early Intervention is free in all the other states but here in New Jersey the parents have to cost share. They say the reason is because NJ has so many cases and it has become a burden for the state. I'm just wondering why we have so many cases. I am still in a grieving stage and trying to help my son but I am considering moving to another state. Does anyone have any feelings about this? Thank you.
Answer: thats interesting, I had not heard that. I live in Massachusetts, and its free here. As for whether you should move... I wouldn't necessarily do it for the early intervention, as your son has about a year left of it (it ends at age three) - I'd start looking into your school system, as that is coming up very soon. If you don't like the school system for any reason, I would probably consider moving. I lucked out... we chose the town we live in now, before my son was diagnosed. it turns out is has one of the best special ed public school systems. I have many friends who moved to this town, specifically for the school system for special ed. So I feel once your child is school age, even for typical kids, but especially for special needs kids, that if you can afford it/works for you.... that you should definitely consider moving to a town with a good school system, that will offer the services your son needs.
One thing though... maybe the system in NJ is so good, thats why so many families with autistic children live there, maybe they moved there for the services? Not sure.... I moved and my neighborhood alone, my son has PDD NOS, my neighbor across the street's son has asperger's, and two other neighbor's children have severe sensory integration disorder...... its odd. I hope this helps!
