[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I live in PG and absolutely love it (NT kid is in a public magnet), but have to advise against it if your child has an IEP and and autism diagnosis.

I do have a couple of dear friends in Howard County who have great things to say about the schools there. [/quote]
Grew up in PG and would absolutely not recommend it. Terrible schools for one. Secondly, it's not very diverse unless you consider mostly AA with a sprinkling of low income whites and a small filipino enclave as diverse. [/quote]

Howard County is NOT diverse.  It has just as many white people as PG County has black people.  Living in a mostly white county does not make it diverse.  Also I think Howard County is to far from Bethesda.  It's a bit country also but some people like that. [/quote]

Hey, hey.  I'm AA from Howard County.  Columbia is VERY diverse.  Western Howard County (where I'm from) is not as diverse, but you would be surprised at how diverse it has become.[/quote]

So which areas in Howard County would you recommend? Columbia, but anywhere else?[/quote]

I'd recommend Fulton, [b]North Laurel[/b], Columbia. Ellicott City is great but the commute down to Bethesda would be long. Fulton/Maple Lawn is also walking distance to Cedar Lane, which is an education center in Howard County. I live in Maple Lawn and it's diverse. You can check the stats for the local schools- Reservoir, Lime Kiln and Fulton. [/quote]

Be careful where you pick in North Laurel.  It has one of the highest crime rates in the County.  Whiskey Bottom in particular.  Parts of Highridge.  Anything out near Route 1.     I'm not saying you can't find a good neighborhood, just be cautious.    I am not trying to dog the place, but I grew up there.  [/quote]
