Hi am an adult with high functioning autism
Am been bullied by the neighbors they also tried to use physical violence they have been telling lies about me and incited hatred they have invaded my space. I have children and they displayed aggression towards them. They vandalized my car and van costing thousands of pounds. They keep on provoking me and then they start to film me. Although I have told the Authorities and they know I have been diagnosed with Autism they have shown no interest at all I have had no help at all so these bullies are now very confident. I have found lots of web sites with information about autism and bulling but there does not seem to be any direct intervention to stop the discrimination and persecution and bulling. Does any one have any ideas
The police most certainly can do something, harassment is illegal whether there is physical violence or not. I would make a complaint to the chief of police at the station.
As for the council, send them this:
http://www.ssa.gov/disability/professionals/bluebook/12.00-MentalDisorders-Adult.htm
Autism and anxiety are both listed there (sadly they have it in the wrong category as they have it in mental disorders rather than neurological disorders, but it is legally classed as a disability either way).
You could get an advocate to help you from MIND: http://www.mind.org.uk/information-support/legal-rights/disability-discrimination/
I know it's horrendous, but don't give up, they are wrong. I would also ask the NAS to contact the council and send them information as they are clearly clueless.
