The Impact of Autism

If any developmental disability deserves our immediate attention it is autism. At present, it is estimated that 1.5 million Americans are affected personally. It is the most rapidly growing developmental disability in the nation, with an astounding 10-17% annual growth rate.

Aside from the impact autism has on individuals and families, it also has a tremendous financial impact. It has been projected that the costs of housing and treating individuals with autism will exceed 60-billion dollars in 2013 alone, with costs guaranteed to escalate in the coming years. The costs of lifelong care can be significantly reduced, however, with early diagnosis.
