What will happen in another 4 years? How can we go on like this? This is a national (and international) problem of monumental proportions. We have an entire new class of children who cannot be accommodated by the system: many are manifestly neurologically impaired. Meanwhile, the government and the medical profession sleep on regardless.

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

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.

July 30, 2023, Newstalk: Autism NZ CEO supports addition of 'quiet rooms' during the FIFA Women's World Cup https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/the-sunday-session/audio/dane-dougan-autism-nz-ceo-on-eden-park-adding-a-quiet-room-during-the-fifa-womens-world-cup/

FIFA has announced they will introduce quiet rooms during the 2023 Women's World Cup for fans with sensory processing difficulties.

Spectators at Auckland's Eden Park, Sydney's Stadium Australia and Brisbane's Brisbane Stadium will have game-day access to these calming spaces.

Autism NZ CEO Dane Dougan says these spaces create a more inclusive and supportive environment.

"It's likely that they've thought about our community and those that have trouble with processing noise and sensory processing issues."
