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.

Dec 4, 2025, Channel 4: ‘I worry about overdiagnosis’ – Expert reacts mental health services review

The Health Secretary has ordered an independent review into the rising demand for mental health, ADHD and autism services in England.

It will look at diagnosis rates and the support offered.

Earlier this year, Wes Streeting said there had been an “overdiagnosis” of mental health conditions with “too many people being written off”. But today he rowed back on those comments, saying they were divisive and better evidence is needed.

We spoke to Dr Alastair Santhouse, a consultant neuropsychiatrist and author of No More Normal: Mental Health in an Age of Over-Diagnosis.
