I get conflicting information when searching, but what do you think is the best top 10 States for a child with autism and other disabilities (he's a severe asthmatic with severe eczema and allergic to

like everything from dust, cats and dogs, to mold and pollens).
I'm looking for a place to call home for all of us and it's getting difficult to find what we need in an affordable range with resources and activities. Most places are way too cold that I've read about.

Maybe in the desert? Pollen and dust are really hard to avoid. Can he get treatment for the allergies? Good luck.

Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, (and some parts of Texas).
As Smiley said, the desert is a good place because it is hot and sterile.
The desert can also be cool and there is plenty of privicy and open spaces to be free in.
All my best.

Might try reaching out to NASA too. They were very involved in the life of David Vetter, better known as David the bubble boy from Dobbin, Texas.

Exceptionally clean air is hard to come by in the US. Between emissions from power plants, cars, and trucks; oil and gas drilling; wildfires; and agricultural pollution, most major American cities have their share of days when their air is polluted at unhealthy levels. Some have it much worse than others.

But in its State of the Air report released Tuesday (April 19), the American Lung Association identified a selection of cities that did not log a single bad-air day at all between 2013 and 2015, the time period analyzed. A bad-air day is defined by a spike in either particulate matter pollution (also known as PM2.5) or ozone pollution above the limit set by the US Environmental Protection Agency for acceptably healthy air. Both ozone and particulate pollution are linked to respiratory diseases, developmental delays, and a litany of other health risks.

In the following six cities, residents never experienced a day when ozone or particle pollution spiked into unhealthy ranges, and average year-round particulate pollution in these cities ranked among the lowest nationally. In alphabetical order, these are the cleanest metropolitan areas in America:

Burlington-South Burlington, Vermont (pop. 217,042)

Cape Coral-Fort Myers-Naples, Florida (1,059,287)

Elmira-Corning, New York (184,702)

Honolulu, Hawaii (998,714)

Palm Bay-Melbourne-Titusville, Florida (588,088)

Wilmington, North Carolina (277,969)

Don't know where the OP went. First reply came nearly 3 days after. We promise to help but if someone thinks we move like Google, too bad.

Sorry I've been working double shifts this week.
I currently live in North Georgia. We deal with the allergies and issues, the problem is for any care he needs pertaining to his autism and other learning disabilities, programs are limited and we have to drive 2+hours one way.
He doesn't do cold well with his skin or asthma, I don't tolerate cold due to hypothyroidism and reynauds.

Any urban area is going to have more autism resources, but also more pollution and dust. If you can afford it, you might consider a suburb of a major city. Since it isn't really possible to avoid pollen and dust, maybe focus on temperature and autism care facilities.
