A real-time emotion recognition system to assist autistic children

Economics

Autism services cost U.S. citizens $236-262 billion annually. Out of this $61-66 billion accounts for the children. Children and adolescents with ASD had average medical expenditures that exceeded those without ASD by $4,110–$6,200 per year. In addition to medical costs, intensive behavioral interventions for children with ASD cost $40,000 to $60,000 per child per year.
