Diver is expensive. He's in an expensive school. He requires expensive services. He just plain costs a lot. All of our ASD kids do. The average lifetime cost of care for a person with autism is $3.2 million. Every family struggling to care for a child on the autism spectrum is already under unprecedented financial strain. Now the economy is tanking and budgets are being slashed at every level; school, city, county, state, federal. My kiddo with AS gets services at every level. He needs these services. President Obama just signed the stimulus; "There you go. It's done," he said.

Keep your fingers crossed.
