Aug 11, 2020, Fox19, Cincinnati, OH: Local school for children with autism adding extra space amid surging enrollment, COVID-19 https://www.fox19.com/2020/08/11/tri-state-school-children-with-autism-adding-extra-space-amid-surging-enrollment-covid-/ SYCAMORE TOWNSHIP, Ohio (FOX19) – A local school is pursuing an innovative, if temporary, solution to the problem of running out of space for its students as they return for fall classes. Linden Grove School is a school for kids with autism in Kindergarten through eighth grade. Right now there are 95 students enrolled for the 2021 school year, and Kristin Tennyson, head of the school, says parents are calling every day for their kids to be put on the waiting list. “As most people know, the autism rate continues to grow and grow and grow right now” said Tennyson. “The CDC tells us they believe one in 48 individuals in the United States are on the autism spectrum.” The problem is, there’s not enough space in the building…. “When you have that many children with autism in one building that have different types of sensory needs, it can be difficult,” Tennyson said. ... https://lindengroveschool.org/admissions/tuition/ For the 2020-2021 school year, Linden Grove School’s tuition ranges from $29,900 to $31,250 depending on the grade of the student as well as the programming needed.

Childhood Lost
Children today are noticeably different from previous generations, and the proof is in the news coverage we see every day. This site shows you what’s happening in schools around the world. Children are increasingly disabled and chronically ill, and the education system has to accommodate them. Things we've long associated with autism, like sensory issues, repetitive behaviors, anxiety and lack of social skills, are now problems affecting mainstream students. Blame is predictably placed on bad parenting (otherwise known as trauma from home).
Addressing mental health needs is as important as academics for modern educators. This is an unrecognized disaster. The stories here are about children who can’t learn or behave like children have always been expected to. What childhood has become is a chilling portent for the future of mankind.

What will happen in another 4 years? How can we go on like this? This is a national (and international) problem of monumental proportions. We have an entire new class of children who cannot be accommodated by the system: many are manifestly neurologically impaired. Meanwhile, the government and the medical profession sleep on regardless.

The generation of American children born after 1990 are arguably the sickest generation in the history of our country.

It seemed to me that with rising autism prevalence, you’d also see rising autism costs to society, and it turns out, the costs are catastrophic.
They calculated that in 2015 autism cost the United States $268 billion and they projected that if autism continues at its current rate, we’re looking at one trillion dollars a year in autism costs by 2025, so within five years.
