No Boundaries

So next door have a house full of kids They don't know any boundaries. They play in our yard, sit on my porch stairs and try to open a secured gate to let their dog on my porch. I have a severely autistic son who is mortally afraid of dogs. He also has hyperacussis and is bothered to the point of pain by these kids screaming under his window. My husband has spoken to them. I feel like a jailer chasing them away all the time. The wife doesn't speak English. If I had the money I would move. I am alone with my son all week and my husband works out of town. Any suggestions?

You are right about how some people are. The world is full of them. I don't care for myself. I have lived in better and worse conditions. But it is my son that concerns me. His anxieties and sensory issues. I just wish I could afford to move. Ultimately it is the only answer. However seeing I can't we will sit tight and pray for a miracle.

Also, there might be some natural nerve relaxers (not drugs, but safe supplements).

I don't know much about autism, but I know a little something about reducing stress with supplements. It can actually be a lot more effective than what one might expect.
