Answer 3

There are tons of camps available.  Look locally through your parks and rec departments and your autism society groups at the local and state levels.  

He will likely need to have a copy of his most recent IEPs and evaluations from the school to make sure his adequately prepared for the demands of an overnight camp.  

Hope he enjoys himself!

Answer 4

There are some in most every state - some sleep over and some day camps.  You need to check with your state Autism Group - but I will say that it may be a little late for this summer.
