Dear All
Just diagnosed with Autism in my 50s it has explained a lot about me.
i have had the most hideous experience with neighbours doing things that aggravate my condition does any e else have similar issues?
Not my current neighbours no, but in my old place yes! Problem behaviour from each of the three other flats in my block of four. The most persistently problematic though was from a guy who was also autistic (I was not at that stage diagnosed and have fewer obvious tells, thanks to exhausting levels of compulsive masking) and who’s behaviour was therefore difficult to moderate with a good balance between assertiveness and sensitivity. I’m so glad to have quiet low key neighbours now
pleased for you yes I am less obvious too but am sensitive to light the environment and noise.I would say my classic masking is in a business setting can put on a suit and sell but when in leisure and dealing with everyday life struggle
