Knoxville has two genuine autism schools and Tennessee has an education account worth roughly $12,800 a year for students with an IEP. That combination is unusual for a metro this size. The catch is the IEA's eligibility rule - your child generally has to have spent the prior full year in a Tennessee public school - so the sequencing matters.
