Hi! Thank you for posting this information it is very useful for parents. Did you check out the resources available in Cecil County (north western MD)? In 2007 our family moved from Cecil County to NJ to get needed services for our son with Aspergers, after many years of trying and failing to get him the appropriate supports and help he needed in the public school system. Many other families with children with autism also moved away from Cecil County to get supports and accomodations that were not available there. I can only hope that with the passage of time and an increase of funding and autism awareness Cecil County can improve the education and support of kids with Aspergers and autism and their families.
