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.

Dec 22, 2025, Wokingham Today: Special needs school in Crowthorne converts charity centre into teaching rooms

https://wokingham.today/special-needs-school-in-crowthorne-converts-charity-centre-into-teaching-rooms/

A school has converted space previously used as a disabled charity centre into a place to teach special needs children.

Hurst Lodge School opened its Woodlands Campus in Crowthorne in September last year.

The school teaches children with special educational needs (SEN) from Years 3 to 6 of primary education. . . .

Ms Fryer replied: “My understanding is that because it takes a lot of children with special educational needs that have funding from local authorities.

“So it could be Bracknell Forest, it could also be West Berkshire and Reading that attend the school because it is the best fit for then, and as part of that agreement they get taxi services organised for them.
