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.

Feb 13, 2025, Irish News: ‘It’s genuinely terrifying’ - Belfast mum on battle to secure special educational support for teenage son

ALMA White from Belfast is a mum on a mission since discovering that her teenage son Caleb, who has special educational needs, is facing an uncertain future once he turns 19.

Northern Ireland currently has no legislation providing specialist care for adults with special educational needs (SEN) after the age of 19.

In England and Wales, support continues until the age of 25.

“The truth is that when my son hits 19, he, and many young adults like him, will be forgotten by the system,” explains Alma (45), who also has two teenage daughters.

“Bewildered parents will be left to try and find solutions for their children with no real hope of getting governmental support. Let that sink in.
