May I suggest Sunday River in Maine. They have ski-in/ski out choice of hotels or condos. The better hotels are in Bethel (~15 mins away): Bethel Inn or Sudbury Inn, but are expensive (you get what you pay for). The Jordan or Grand Summit hotels on the moutain are improving, but are not 4 star yet. (if you're on a budget, a 2 star hotel might be more along the lines of what you can afford anyways) Condos allow you to save $$ on meals, you can cook there.

The reason I recommend my fav resort is because of a very special feature that will help your autistic son: Maine Handicap Skiing. They will work with your son, free of charge (they will probably ask for a donation). Sunday River donates the lift ticket, ski coaches volunteer their time and are specially trained to deal with the issues your son faces (it's called adaptive skiing). It's one of my fav things about Sunday River.

Sunday River has a great adult learn to ski program. The coaches will work with you, no matter how long it takes, until you are turning and stopping. Southridge and Northpeak areas will probably work well for you guys. There are plans to start night skiing next season in those areas. The mountain has great snowmaking and assuming you are coming from overseas, the weak dollar will make a very economical trip. There were a lot of folks from the UK and Canada last season.

They offer rental of ski equipment, but not clothes (most mountains in the east don't offer that service). They have packages that include lodging, rental and lessons.

Let me know if you decide to go there next season. I'd love to meet up.
