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.

https://www.warwickshire.gov.uk/news/article/7237/new-specialist-resource-provision-opens-at-cawston-grange-primary-school

We’re excited to share that a new Specialist Resourced Provision (SRP) has opened at Cawston Grange Primary School in Rugby, in partnership with Warwickshire County Council.

The provision, called Bumblebees, offers eight places for primary-aged children with communication and interaction needs.

Bumblebees welcomed its first pupils in September 2025 and is already making a positive difference. Warwickshire’s Specialist Resource Provision team will provide ongoing support to Cawston Grange, offering expert advice, guidance, and specialist training to ensure the provision meets the needs of every child. . .
