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.

Loss of Brain Trust features over 9,000 news stories published worldwide since January, 2017

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.

Apr 7, 2023, WAVY Norfolk: New facility for autism set to open in Virginia Beach https://www.wavy.com/news/local-news/virginia-beach/new-facility-for-autism-set-to-open-in-virginia-beach/

During Autism Awareness month, a new state-of-the-art facility is under construction in Virginia Beach.

Designers say it will be the largest community facility for autism in Hampton Roads….

“This is a piece that we’re really excited about. It’ll be very unique. It’ll be, as far as I know, the biggest sensory gym in Virginia Beach. It’s going to have slides, a foam pit, ziplines, all different kinds of climbing walls, areas under the playset where you can go and do dry erase boards, various different things. My favorite piece is over here. We’re going to have a giant area with tons of different swings. So, a lot of individuals with autism really like repetitive motion.”…
