Schools for Autism in reasonably priced areas in the US

Hi everyone,

My daughter is a level 1 AuDHD. She is in 2nd grade this year and we've homeschooled her every year because the local school district won't give her an IEP or even believe us that she is autistic. They'd like to throw her in a classroom and let her have traumatic experiences first before they'll believe us, even though she was diagnosed by psychiatrists from a well-respected program.

I'm blessed to have a job where I'll be able to work from home for the foreseeable future. However, I am by no means independently wealthy and am helping my other children through college, etc. Does anyone have a child this age in an autism specific school in a reasonably priced cost of living location in the United States? Where are you and what's school name? How hard was it to get your child in? I'd love some ideas and am willing to relocate most anywhere. Thanks in advance.
