Autism Tsunami: The Cost of the Aging Autism Population
Big Pharma Sees Dollar Signs in Autism #Treatment
The global autism treatment market is expected to reach $11.42 billion by 2028, up from $9.01 billion in 2021.14 James Lyons-Weiler, Ph.D., author of âThe Environmental and Genetic Causes of Autism,â told Childrenâs Health Defense:15
âFor decades, the increase in autism was denied, and any discussion of the treatment of autism was met with the same derisive forces that would malign and mischaracterize the parents and physicians trying to give these kids a better day.
Now that Pharma has recognized the scale of the clinical population of people on the spectrum and is charting a translational path toward their profits, itâs finally considered OK to admit the increase and to rush headlong into treatment programs. I say to the parents of kids with autism, and to adults with autism: Beware Pharma.â
Yet, many people with autism end up on a cocktail of drugs, oftentimes unnecessarily. Among children with autism, 1 in 6 are taking antipsychotic drugs, for instance.16 Tommey said:17
âBefore you know it, youâve got this whole cocktail of drugs that do not work. It is not sustainable to have that many drugs in you and survive. Theyâre seeing it as a money-making opportunity. It is a huge, #barbaric #money-making #machine ⊠and somehow weâve got to stop this.
It is everybodyâs problem what we have done to these adults ⊠with autism and what the future is going to hold. Itâs going to be a really desperate situation. It already is a desperate situation, but itâs going to get a lot worse.â
