Hi, I'm sorry to bother you all, but I have nosey neighbours who are being awful to us,
we are a family of Autism and ADHD mixed children, even I myself am Autistic Adhd although I was never diagnosed as a child,
We have a lovely happy home life full of play and laughter,
but many times a days that laughter can switch to raging meltdowns in seconds, during these meltdowns our kids will ususaly swear, rage and scream very loudly,
and then go back back to playing as though nothing has happened, This is Normal in our house,
but our nosey neighbour will not stop interfering in our business, they started by constantly asking what was going on,
asking if the children were alright and if we needed help etc,
but they are so nosey, we do not want to tell them our private business, and I refuse to explain ourselves to them,
but now they keep being nasty towards us,
in the latest incident, while my partner and I were both at work doing vital key work at the same time,
our neighbour went over to our registered childminder's house, scared her into thinking she was breaking the law,
saying our children were not allowed in her house and made our children stand in the car park for 2 hours,
this caused a huge row, after which the man kept calling me a child abuser and threatened to phone Social services on us.
he's called me this many times, and has gone around calling me this to other neighbours,
who have been honest and told me about it.
I have reported this to the police and a housing safety officer, who said they would have words with them,
but they have gone straight back to the horrid name calling after just one day,
we are so stressed this is affecting all of us especially our kids who are constantly being told to be quiet because we fear neighbours.
we fear to go in our own garden when they are in theirs and we are having to be very vigilant when we go aout,
we've been told to not say anything and ignore them, but it simply isn't working,
we desperately need help but we don't know who to turn to, or how to deal with this,
J
