Anyone else dread summer because of noise?

I can totally get that, we have a long garden and on one side are houses with young families and they make an incredible amount of noise and they have frequent BBQ's the smell of which makes me feel sick. One little girl over the hedge has the most piercing scream and she screams a lot and always has, I wonder if she has a something like autism or adhd, but it dosen't help me feel more kindly towards her, she ruins my enjoyment of my garden. 

I can't cope with the heat or the brightness of the sun, anything over about 23-25.C and I'm flaked out barely able to move and feeling really unwell.

I can't use headphones because they make my cPTSD worse.

Is there anyway you can move house to somewhere quieter?

Your post reminds me of when I did some training in art therapy, we were given a picture done as if by a child, with lots of flowers and a big sun in the blue sky, a typical house with a door in the middle and windows either side. We were asked what we saw when we looked at the picture, most people said what a lovely sunny day and how beautiful the flowers were, nobody noticed the little sad face at one of the upstairs windows, it was a picture of a hayfever sufferers nightmare, unable to go out because of the pollen. Most people like the summer and theres lots of pressure to enjoy it, when you don't, it's really isolating, I've had a life time of being told to chear up because the suns shining.

Oh thanks this is the first time Ive posted and first time I have spoken to another ADHDer. I have the same. My bungalow has a row of others along one side. It literally sounds like they are in my garden. So, the big question... how on earth do you cope?

Yesterday I was raging so blared music into the garden. But I didn't want music either and spent all day and night worrying about what I'd done.

I don't have adhd, just autism.

WHen the neighbours have competing sound system going I have thought of getting a big stage amp and giving them a blast of O Fortuna, or some really deep reggae. It's either that or going round the street with a big axe and smashing their noise making equipment to smithereens. I feel like I'm living with a load of inconsiderate housemates.

I'm not in a position to move house yet, but when I am I will go back to living so far in the back of beyond they have to ship in daylight!

I have a dog who barks at other dogs, at crows and because she wants to go and play with the children over the hedge. The only way to stop her is not to let her out at all which is unfair, somebody did send a letter of complaint to the council about her barking, I went effing mental, if thier kids didn't make so much noise all the time she wouldn't bark so much.

I try and tell myself that it's good that the children are playing outside instead of sat inside in front of screens all day, then I start asking good for who, because I'm not getting to use my garden as much as I'd like because of them being noisy

I have these thoughts too. I get most furious when dogs are left to bark. It beats me how they can put up with it themselves! I want to go and yell at them. I've tried talking in the past but certain people are just so chilled they couldn't care less and I think it makes it worse. I regret than I've shown vulnerability.  I dream of living in a field too. I hate the bin men. Who else could worry all week about being woken on a Tuesday! I have had severe insomnia for decades because of anxiety.
