Why is treatment and therapy so costly for kids that have autism?

Treatment for Autism can be more costly because it is in high demand but without enough people to actually implement treatment - there are many changes in autism treatment and a great deal of difference between someone who knows autism via academics and someone who knows autism from learning about Autistic people so there's a wide range of difference in how well treatment works.
Often treatment is unnecessary, unusual or outright abusive and dangerous treatments are sold at a high price because people know they can play on parents concerns (often fueled by ignorance, Propaganda from groups like Autism Speaks, and ableism) - as long as people are willing to pay anything to try to change their child there will be people who charge a fortune for quack treatments.

How has autism chaneged since the 1930?
Essentially none. Medical recognition of autism has come only in the past few decades--the first use of "autism" in its modern sense was in 1943. As late as the 70s, many blamed lack of parental attention for autism in children. In the 1930s, it seems most likely that autism would have been diagnosed as a form of schizophrenia. Antipsychotic drugs for schizophrenia did not come about until the 50s. Insulin shock therapy came about in the 30s as a treatment for schizophrenia, but the odds of it doing anything for autism are less than remote.
