Here are some services I've received and heard of throughout my life that parents and people with Autism have tried:
OT; Occupational Therapy (used for Sensory issues)
PT; Physical Therapy (used for motor skills)
ST; Speech Therapy (used for expressive, receptive, social skills, etc)
Social Stories (help with understand what to do in given situation)
ABA; Applied Behavior Analysis (used to modify behavior)
Verbal Behavior therapy (something like that)
Horseback riding therapy
Water / swimming therapy
Home therapy : weighted blankets, weighted vests, jumping on trampoline, going for runs/walks, and other therapy items that can be sold in therapy stores. Abilitations.com is a good one. :)
You can also join local support groups on Meetup.com - for local assistance. You can also apply for Autism medicaid (if your state has it), social security benefits and other stuff.
If you need anything else or advice, feel free to message me.
