Autism Speaks estimates that in 2007 around £3m from all sources was spent on autism research in the UK. This is less than the extra lifetime costs incurred by one person with autism and equates to £6 per person with autism per year. General research developments in the fields of neuroscience, neuroimaging and genetics are also relevant to autism. The main centres of autism research worldwide are in the US, UK, Canada, mainland Europe (particularly Scandinavia, Germany and Holland), Japan, Australia and Israel.
