#neurodivergent-children

Kids have been telling their parents they're bored for as long as there have been parents. Nothing new there. But lately, it seems different. Many 21st-century kids, especially bright or neurodivergent kids, report being bored a lot. They're bored at school. They're bored on short car trips. They're bored when they're home and stuck inside without a friend. They're bored outside if there's nobody nearby to play with.

Neurodivergent children living in temporary accommodation (TA) in England are subjected to conditions that amount to torture, and the harm it causes them is psychologically excruciating and a form of child cruelty, a report has found.
