This is a pretty general question but it would be very helpful to hear from parents' experiences who live in both States. I'm moving my family back to the US from Japan and these are the two States we're considering (Phoenix or Mesa / Orange County or San Diego to be more specific).Which States have better care for children with Autism (PDD- NOS): CA or AZ ?!?
I don't live in either state but hopefully this info will be somewhat useful to you.
You could contact the Phoenix chapter of the Autism Society and/or the San Diego chapter of the Autism Society , they are ran by parents and professionals and can be a great place to find out about local resources/services, etc. I do know that the state of AZ requires all insurances to cover ABA therapy, not sure about CA.

San Diego CA Autism Society: http://www.sd-autism.org info@sd-autism.org
In CA, there is The Center for Autism and Related Disorders, Inc. (C.A.R.D.)
http://www.centerforautism.org
They have around 11 locations throughout CA including 1 in San Diego, they have other locations besides CA but not in AZ. "Providing treatment to children with Autism, PDD and Asperger's Syndrome. We strive to help children by developing unique and individualized behavioral programs based on each child's particular strengths and weaknesses. Our goal is to teach all of our children the functional skills necessary to replace previously learned maladaptive behaviors, enabling them to live independent and productive lives."
