F.B.
Here in IA we have something called AEA. My son was referred by his preschool. He went there for some testing (free) and showed some signs of autism. AEA referred us to a diagnostic pediatrician who diagnosed him with high-functioning autism. If it wasn't for AEA, I would have had no idea how to proceed. They've been wonderful, and held my hand through the entire thing. Isaac is attending the AEA preschool for his second year now, and I've seen huge improvements. I think you're from Nebraska? Perhaps they also have a state agency similar to this. Good luck!
