New Haven is home to the Yale Child Study Center — one of the most historically important centers for autism research and clinical care in the world.

This guide walks through what's available: diagnosis, therapy, schools, community, and how Connecticut's funding programs — the insurance mandate, HUSKY/Medicaid, and DDS waivers — work, including the waitlists that families most often run into.
