Jarbrink, Krister; Fombonne, Eric; Knapp, Martin
Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v33 n4 p395-402 Aug 2003
This article outlines the elements that were included in a study that measured the cost of providing informal care to children (ages 4-10) with autism. The application of the instrument in a study of 15 families offers tentative evidence on the parental economic burden and the costs of informal care. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
