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.

April 2, 2026, BBC News: Autism Guernsey programmes funded for three years - AOL

Autism Guernsey will continue to offer support programmes for parents and carers of autistic young people in Guernsey due to new funding.

The £24,000 [$32K] from Health and Social Care (HSC) will be matched by the charity to run six programmes that aim to help parents deal with anxiety, social interaction and age-relevant challenges that autistic children may face.

The programmes have been running for the past five years and the charity said the funding enabled them to continue for at least another three.

Julia Watts, CEO of Autism Guernsey, said: "This agreement makes up a small, but meaningful part of the £400,000 [$536K] annual cost required to support Autism Guernsey each year." . . .

She said wait times have been an issue for autism services in the island, the team is small and is trying to keep on top of wait times as much as they can.

Ford said: "Unfortunately... families continue to experience long waits.

"Our team is very small and the demand has continued to increase.

"So the team is currently seeing children who were referred to us in kind of July 2024. So that is a really long wait for families. . . .
