Woken up by students at 2.30am!!!!

This is something more widely associated with people, not necessarily young, coming back from a social event where drink has blurred the sense of responsibility. People forget how loudly they are talking and how much noise they are making. They might respond briefly to someone banging on a window, but the alcohol will have the stronger say in how they continue to behave.

You don't say why this has suddenly happened. Are you new in that ground floor flat, in which case placing someone with aspergers next to a route used regularly by people coming back from the pub is short sighted.

Or has this just started up very recently, and hasn't happened previously and you've been in the flat a while, and this suddenly starts up, sounds like a new venue has opened or students have shifted their loyalties to a new venue. In which case there will be others besides yourself concerned.  There may be something you can do, through your local counsellor, to restrain the venue. The venue may be compelled to ask customers to show restraint walking home, or risk losing its licence.

If you live near student residences, or are in student halls or flats yourself, this I'm afraid is a fact of life. It may mean student residences aren't a good choice for you. But also you can adjust to it. If you are losing sleep you could wear ear muffs at night, not easy but an option.

Also don't automatically blame students, groups of older people, or young people at a party going home are often assumed to be students because everyone knows students behave like this..... aint necessarily so.

I used to go on field trips abroad with students, using package holiday hotels for budget accommodation. If there was noise coming back from the clubs in the early hours students were always the first blame. But frankly the noisiest people on the planet, at least from my days in package holiday hotels with student groups, are the old grannies from Glasgow or Newcastle on a package holiday. You don't know loud until you've encountered them. And some of the rowdiest behaviour I've ever seen was senior citizens outside a conservative club in Lytham St Annes.

Being noise sensitive and confused and prone to anxiety where noise is complex and unpredictable myself, I think I understand how you feel, but it is generally best to avoid confrontation, like banging on a window, or going out into the street. If its a short episode have some comforts on hand to help you calm down. If this is stuff going on for longer, intermittent events over hours, uually a council is obliged to intervene.
