The autism financial burden is real
The cost of having a child (or more than one) with autism is difficult for many families. A study published in Pediatrics in 2014 estimated families spend $17,000 more on autism medical and other expenses than families that do not have a child with autism. Research also found that lifetime costs of caring for a child with autism is about $1.4 million. Insurance and government assistance cover part of it, but families are burdened with high out-of-pocket costs when they also have lower income levels.
These additional expenses can eat into the money families need for everyday living, retirement savings, home purchases and so much more.
“Autism and Your Family Finances” provides you with a roadmap for financial success
Yet, if parents of autistic children are intentional with their money, they can make the most of every dollar to meet their financial goals. Not only does that include budgeting, paying off debt, saving and investing, but it means taking advantage of resources available to your child like autism grants, your state’s Medicaid autism waiver and potentially Social Security Income (if your child is eligible).
