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.

June 4, 2026, Oxfordshire: Construction of new school is under way | Oxford Mail

Construction is under way to build a special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) school in an Oxfordshire town.

The Department for Education, in partnership with The Gallery Trust, is transforming the site of the former Faringdon Infant School into a “state-of-the-art” SEND school.

When complete, Artemis Academy will offer a therapeutic day education for children and young people aged 7–18 with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs and Autistic Spectrum Condition (ASC). . . .

Opening in early 2027 with approximately 30 pupils, the school will grow gradually to a capacity of 100 pupils providing tailored support to meet the needs of each learner.

All pupils will have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP). .
