I disagree. I think they're more adaptable, but less resilient.
When we were kids, we weren't all chasing a diagnosis to use as an excuse to avoid personal responsibility. We weren't running around painting ourselves as victims all the time. We were bothered or upset by things not going our way, but we weren't traumatised by them to the point of needing professional help.
Every other kid now is on the spectrum, has ADHD, or some form of anxiety. And we are expected to make ever more allowances for it. FFS, my wife couldn't even get special consideration in her HSC year for having had a brain tumour removed at the end of year 11, but kids will get it for comparatively minor psychological problems.
