Childhood Lost

Anne Dachel, Media editor, Age of Autism

(John Dachel, Tech. assist.)

John Stone,

UK media editor, Age of Autism

"The generation of American children born after 1990 are arguably the sickest generation in the history of our country."

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

“It seemed to me that with rising autism prevalence, you’d also see rising autism costs to society, and it turns out, the costs are catastrophic.”

“They calculated that in 2015 autism cost the United States $268 billion and they projected that if autism continues at its current rate, we’re looking at one trillion dollars a year in autism costs by 2025, so within five years.”

Toby Rogers, PhD, Political economist
