Aspies For Freedom

Hey guys treatment from NT's in society. I used to be so open and understanding to people who are NT's and had alot of time for them and I fully understood their side when it comes to trying to understand us and basicly I gave them ago. But now I am not so keen to do so. As my Thread Subject says: Treatment in your nieghbourhood........

I have been having on going problems with people in my nieghbourhood mind you these people have never met me little lone ever come face to face and even talked to me and just said hello some have never seen me before but persist in tormenting me by yelling out abuse and calling me names on a daily basis such as your a Crazy you belong in a Mental Hospital, Nutter, Weirdo, Retard, Queer,Psycho and Spastic. This Abuse has been going on for the last four years on and off there are times for at least a month or two when they get distracted and amused with something else and leave me alone for awhile. Some of these nieghbours get told by other nieghbours about me and start tormenting me and teasing me because someone had made a judgement of my appearance and have gone around automaticly assuming I am some kind of Streetkid due to the fact I look younger than I do and I am rather short only being just 5 foot and I wear clothes that aren't appealing to them. They also have assumed due to a judgement of an Appearance again that I happen to be half Aboriginal and that my father if full blooded Aboriginal which unfortunatly he is not, my father is full white Australian and Irish. They also question the fact that I have Aspergers Syndrome and they feel that I am lying and only using the Disablity to get Attention and Sympathy. There is so much more I would like to tell you but it would take over three pages because this has been happening for so long four years. But I can tell you how all this started. It started in December 2002 when one of the nieghbours down the road had a four day party that went all day and night and by the fourth day I had, had enough I had only 7 hours sleep in the four days and I was feed up. I was rather surprised at the fact that none of the nieghbours complained and let these people run the nieghbourhood and have parties whenever they like or how long they like. I thought well we have a neighbourhood watch sign on our street sign I thought someone would at least ring the police. Well in months to come I was to realise why these people don't do anything and still don't do anything to this day. I ended up getting my PA system and saying through my microphone hey you lot can you please at least respect the nieghbours and be quiet thankyou. Then I got this reply back We are coming over to trash your house come on boys lets go. Now my landlord was in Italy at the time and I live alone and I am a Girl I ended up shutting my window putting my PA away and double checking the doors and windows due to them saying what they said I was scared that was about one am in the morning I did that. Too this day there loyal nieghbours and they do as well, say that what they said that night was just a joke and that I took it too seriously that they really weren't going to trash my house and that they were just joking. Well if they were just joking it would of stopped in December 2002 but it has stilled continued to this day. As far as I am concerned it was a Threat on my life it doesn't matter whether they were sober or drunk and I am a girl so threatening a girl isn't very smart and I was alone at the time. The other incident was not long after that party when I started to realise that these people were taking alot more notice since I had said what I had said through the PA system than before. I ended up going down to confront these people totally unorginised mind you in such a state I was so angrey, feed up, frustrated, upset that I didn't care what I was wearing at the time nor what I was going to say for that matter. I ended up going down and speaking with this gentleman and his kind wife about the situation mind you I was still wearing what I wore to bed, I didn't even have a shower and I had only woken up a half an hour before hand I was totally unorginised didn't even have a piece of paper actually explaining why I was there and why I came down there for I was totally ill prepared. So when I started talking to them I was like stuttering everything I said and I couldn't get a word out edge wize this went on all through the conversation with this guy and his wife. I made the mistake that I used to work as a Car Detailer in the Police Depot here in brisbane and that I was on UHF Radios. Everything oddly enough went well enough for me well Unbeknownst to me this guy went around not long afterwards and started the rumours that will continue to this day. He automaticly assumed that I was a Streetkid due to the fact I walked down in my PJ's and the fact I had only just woke up a half and hour before hand and I hadn't had a shower I must of looked like some Zombie from night of the living dead. And the fact I was so unorginised. I honestly thought I was doing the right thing Now I am paying for it by having some guy go around bad naming me saying I am a Streetkid, ferrel, poorper, now all the nieghbours say that I made the whole thing up and the entire situation of me talking to this man and his wife never eventuated and that I made the whole thing up. That is how it started and that is why I now stil to this day get abused, named called, teased and laughed at all because of that. Also because I complained and now they are constantly beeping their car horns all day not when they are leaving to go somewhere or to say goodbye to someone or when they are telling someone they are there  they are sitting in a stationary car and just beeping the horn just to see what I would do and they do this constantly day in and day out. Every afternoon when they all come home from work or school they all meet up togeather and discuss what I had said to either my Landlord when we are outside getting the mail or just catching up or who came over my place how long they were there whether they were Aboriginal, or from another Country, whether they maybe drug addicts junkies, or other Streetkids. Then they have a party and ask all their friends over mind you these people don't have parties for birthdays or anything they just have a party with their friends and discuss what my landlord myself and a couple of other nieghbours have said during the week and talk about it for hours on end just to see whether they would get a reaction or not.

Due to these people making all these accusations about me and my landlord we have suddenly become like a Circus Animal and have become the main attraction in my nieghbourhood where other nieghbours in the neighbourhood drive up to our place and stop in front of our house or slowly drive past and calmly look out the window and stare at my landlords house try and look in my front window which is the closest to the road and laugh some even take pictures of the house and sometimes if my landlord and I are outside just talking they take pictures of us too standing there talking. Some even go out of their way to just walk past or run past and yell out theres the house on the right there the one with the Crazy living in it they say this just right out the front of our house and at the top of their voice so we and everyone in the nieghbourhood can hear it. One of the guys did that the other day and came face to face with my landlord I have never seen someone so scared he was explaining what he was told about us and the situation and he had just said there is the house on the right that is where it lives when he came face to face with my landlord she had timed it so well she had just come back from somewhere and had just got out of her car when this happened and the look on this guys face was priceless he quickly said ahh the house on the left and he ended up running past my landlord while my landlord was giving him the death stare he looked like he had honestly seen a ghost or was about to go against a guy twice his hieght and wieght and built like a brick house and he looked rather a ghastly white as well but I will never forget the expression on his face priceless. They also have a habit of  driving up to near my place to see if I am home if they haven't seen me for a few days just to see if I am still here. When I hadn't come out at all much for a month they assumed that I had died from a Drug Over Dose and one lady in her late 40's just said that it couldn't of happened to a nicer person thankgod it's gone. Then to suddenly realise a few minutes later as I stood out the front and waved to her that the rumours weren't true. These nieghbours also have a habit of starting their motor mowers and leaving the motor mower running for hours without mowing the lawn and leaving it and they go do something else for awhile just to see if someone complains. As well as Drills extra they stand out their front yard and just turn them on and don't use them for what they are used for they just stand there and rev the thing till someone cracks and complains out of all honesty it is rather funny seeing them stand there. And telling any work men that visit our nieghbourhood to watch out for me because I go off my nut and I am the local Mental Case and if I yell out the window or throw something just to ignore it and that I complain all the time. I don't do anything I just sit there and laugh the workmen go about doing their job and end up leaving the nieghbourhood without a hitch. I did have a friend though who did some work for one of the neighbours in the street and was told all this and ended up telling me that he thought they were a bunch of mental cases and that they must be taking drugs or something to make up some hallusinary, dillusional stories like that. I have been to the police about it and they can't do anything about it unless they do something to my property or threaten to beat me up. I don't have enough money to move and I have been told so many times to just ignore it, don't worry about it if you ignore them they will go away. There is only has much as I can take even when I do ignore them and then they go over that line. I can't stand it anymore. I am so feed up with it. You know when you are at the end of your tether and you are just so feed up. I have gone to ever option I can and I am so emotionally exhausted by this I can't stand it anymore. But thats the price you pay for living in a Low Social Economic neighbourhood with neighbours who are trying to make ends meet and some of the parents just don't have the finances to have their kids to goto school or to get that higher education. Most of the people in my neighbourhood are single mums and parents who are struggling to make ends meet. Parents who are addicted to Alchole or drugs and the kids are left to their own devices and the rest of the nieghbours are to look after them the parents just won't take responisablity for their kids. Hey I accept everyone just the way they are but these NT's nope I just can't what they are doing is wrong and it shouldn't be tolerated.  Has anyone else had this problem at all in a Work Place, School, Home at all? and what did you do about it?. Why do NT's treat us like this just because we are abit different and outside the box do they find us a threat do they fear us because they just don't know how to take us or handle us?.

When one lives next to a dump, one can expect trash to come blowing by.  Don't know how old you are, but as soon as you are able, I suggest you put as much distance as you can between you and the bipedal garbage that happens to live near you.  Over in the USA, we'd call such folk "trailer trash", even if they didn't live in trailers.

Thankyou DogBrain for your help I totally agree with you it's very disapointing though when these torments, teasing, bullying and harrassment also come from Adults in their late 40's early 50's you would think at that age they would accept people just the way they are and would be educating and giving the younger generation a good example but instead act and behave just like the younger ones and encouraging that kind of behaviour and attitude towards people with their own children very disapointing. I am 34 years of age.

Do you live in a country where there is actual freedom of movement or one where you have to apply to some government agency to find housing?

I never talk to my neighbors so they don't know how cool I am.
