Help families affected by Autism have medical insurance that will cover Behavioral & Medical Therapies.

Created by M.C. on September 26, 2011

It can cost about $3.2 million to take care of an autistic person over his or her lifetime. Direct costs include direct medical costs, such as physician and outpatient services, prescription medication, and behavioral therapies (estimated to cost, on average, more than $29,000 per person per year) and direct non-medical costs, such as special education, (estimated to annually cost more than $38,000 for those with lower levels of disability and more than $43,000 for those with higher levels). Result estimates that annual indirect costs for autistic individuals and their parents range from more than $39,000 to nearly $130,000.
