April 13, 2016- "Study Pegs Cost of Services for Autism's Growing Adult Population"- According to a recent analysis, the California Department of Services spent, on average, more than $26,500 per adult with autism in the 2012-2013 fiscal year. The costs were skewed toward adults whose autism was complicated by intellectual disability, which affects an estimated one-third of those with autism. The average cost for those without intellectual disability aged 25 to 34 was $20,734. However, for the same group, the average spending for a person with intellectual disability went up $37,876. Notably, the analysis did NOT include the cost of educational or medical services, the latter of which are likely to be significantly higher than average for many people with autism.
