Autism Support

Are there any parents that live in the Albany area or anywhere in NY outside of NYC that would be willing to discuss where they live and what community supports are available for their kids?

We are looking at relocating and NY state seems to have good autism supports compared to NC. It does seem like we need to be in a city though. We are more comfortable in rural areas. I was hoping to find a small city that had rural areas just outside of town. I’m looking at Albany currently. We love college town atmospheres.
