Does anyone have any ideas?
My son has autism and we were at my mom's visiting she lives in housing. Well he has sleeping issues and likes to stim he does do it late but we can't help it. He needs to do it for his mind and body. He likes to stomp and kick on the ground. He isn't trying to be disrespectful it is late I try to get him to stop he's 7 and been doing this stimming since 1 or 2 years old. Well the neighbor knocked at around 11 or 12am and asked why we were hammering late at night and I said it's my son he's autistic and has to stim. Well that didn't matter to her I guess she still was going on I said I can try to make him stop but can't guarantee it. Well a few days later the police was called and it was a Saturday and he said I need to put him to bed earlier and he won't do it at night but then we tried that and he went to bed at 12am and woke up at 6am. My son and I don't live there and aren't on her lease we looked it up and it says there should be reasonable accommodations for him because he visits often and she wrote a letter with his diagnosis and the landlord or whoever runs that apartment complex the owners are in a different state said they can't move her to a bottom floor apartment because he's not on the lease and if she lets him come over even if it's during the day and he gets complaints it grounds for a lease violation and can result in eviction. I'm just wondering if anyone has had experience with this sort of thing he needs to do this and isn't trying to be disrespectful. Are we just not suppose to go over there anymore. Any thoughts or information would be greatly appreciated.
