Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 11-5 (September 2007) . - 453-463 Titre : The economic consequences of autistic spectrum disorder among children in a Swedish municipality Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Krister JARBRINK, Auteur Année de publication : 2007 Article en page(s) : 453-463 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Asperger-syndrome Autism Autistic-spectrum-disorder cost-analysis Sweden Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : In this study, the societal economic consequences of autistic spectrum disorder were investigated using a sample of parents of children identified with the disorder and living in a Swedish municipality. Cost information was collected using a postal questionnaire that was developed through experiences gained from an earlier study. Using conservative assumptions, the additional societal cost due to the disorder was estimated to be approximately 50,000 annually per child. Parents of children with the disorder spent an average of about 1000 hours per year additionally caring for and supporting their child. The study indicates that the major cost drivers for autistic spectrum disorder among children can be found within the community for support and schooling, while the major impact on relatives is on time spent and thereby quality of life rather than a financial burden.

The Economic Impact of Autism in Britain / Krister JARBRINK in Autism, 5-1 (March 2001)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 5-1 (March 2001) . - p.7-22 Titre : The Economic Impact of Autism in Britain Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Krister JARBRINK, Auteur ; Martin KNAPP, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.7-22 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Little is known about the economic impact of autism. This study estimated the economic consequences of autism in the United Kingdom, based on published evidence and on the reanalysis of data holdings at the Centre for the Economics of Mental Health (CEMH). With an assumed prevalence of 5 per 10,000, the annual societal cost for the UK was estimated to exceed £1 billion. The lifetime cost for a person with autism exceeded £2.4 million. The main costs were for living support and day activities. Family costs account for only 2.3 percent of the total cost, but a lack of relevant information limited our ability to estimate these costs. Minor improvements in life outcome for people with autism could substantially reduce costs over the lifetime.
