Therapy for babies with signs of autism can cut long-term disability costs jamanetworkopen
to the point where a childhood clinical autism diagnosis was two-thirds less likely.
"By investing in services early in life for babies showing early autism signs—and thereby reducing levels of disability—the study predicted a net cost savings of $10,695 per child by age 13 years," Prof. Segal, a health economist, says. Telethon Kids Institute's Prof Andrew Whitehouse—the Angela Wright Bennett Professor of Autism Research at Telethon Kids and the University of Western Australia and Director of CliniKids—says autism is not typically diagnosed until three years of age.
Prof. Segal says a challenge for health and disability systems globally is how to allocate finite funding to best support people with a disability, including autistic children and their families. Prof. Whitehouse says given that in Australia more than a third of all participants in the NDIS have an autism diagnosis, the implications of these findings are enormous.

Early menopause, later start to hormone therapy may increase risk of Alzheimer's diseaseWomen are more likely than men to develop Alzheimer's disease (AD), with women making up two-thirds of the population living with AD. A new study, led by Mass General Brigham researchers, sheds light on the relationship between the risk of Alzheimer's disease and age of menopause and use of hormone therapy (HT). The results, published in JAMA Neurology, indicate that early age at menopause may be a risk factor for AD dementia, but that women who were prescribed HT around the age of menopause onset did not show increased risk.
