I feel for both parties here. Very difficult for the family to prevent an autistic child making a noise but also for the person having to try and work, sleep and relax with constant noise. It would certainly have a huge effect on my mental health. Are the family aware of how much noise you can hear?
The family are aware of the noise, my friend approached them before she was aware of their circumstances.
It's causing her real distress and she doesn't want to add to the pressures the family has, she is a kind and reasonable person.
From what she was told, the little one has another condition alongside the diagnosis of Autism which creates the extreme situations.
It is having a dreadful effect on her own mental health too...the situation is a little better during the day now as the child goes to daycare / a support centre so there is an element of respite during the week.
She's looking at options to move as it does appear to be the best thing for her to do.
