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.

NE England

More than 300 people of all ages have taken part in the latest annual walk in aid of an award-winning North East charity supporting autistic people and their families.

TV personality Pam Royle launched the Walk For Acceptance, organised by the North East Autism Society (NEAS), which recently won the Diversity and Inclusion category at the Business IQ Awards.

The Walk For Acceptance took place at Herrington Country Park, in Sunderland, with a one-mile route around the lake.

Pam, who serves as a patron of NEAS, said: “The Walk For Acceptance is always such an uplifting, family occasion, and it was a joy to be there and see so many people out in the fresh air, supporting a wonderful charity.” . . .
