Does Medicaid pay for autism services in Colorado?

The typical wait is No state waitlist for CES; around 7 years for the adult DD waiver, and your place is usually set by the date you apply — so applying early matters even if you are unsure what services you need. Many waivers also disregard parental income, so families who don't qualify for regular Medicaid often still qualify here.
