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.
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

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.

Mankato, MN: Autism provider expands into WI and IA

Nov 7, 2023, Mankato, MN, KEYC: Minnesota Autism Center to expand https://www.keyc.com/2023/11/07/minnesota-autism-center-expand/?outputType=amp

The Minnesota Autism Center is expanding into Wisconsin and northern Iowa.

The center is a a non-profit autism behavioral therapy company serving kids with autism from 18 months to 21 years of age. The organization has acquired two more facilities, one in Wisconsin and one in northern Iowa. The Iowa center was already acting as an autism center with a contract with MAC, and patients will carry over to the new ownership. The MAC says that the expansion is part of an effort to expand their reach to communities around the Midwest.

“One of our kind of internal goals that we’ve always talked about is that we’re within 45 minutes to an hour of every person in the state of Minnesota. Because it shouldn’t matter what town you live in or what state border marks you, if you need help you should be able to get it,” said Jen Diederich.

The new ownership of the facilities goes into effect December 1.
