Can Autism cause poverty?

Question:

Many news sites and Wikipedia say so, but is it true?

Answers:
I don't know about poverty, but it is a financial struggle.
Unfortunately, many of the services autistic children truly need are not available via free public services. The help that public school systems offer is often below par. Speech and behavioral therapies are often needed that must be paid for out of pocket.
If the child requires a special diet, certain foods can be expensive.
It can very quickly become very costly.

It is all worth it for your child though.

Like I'm going to dispute the experts? Hey, it could, not necc. that it *will*.
