To wonder how I approach my neighbour about her nude son

[Meanswell]

So i feel quite awkward in posting this but i am wondering the best approach as I don’t want to upset anyone but i need to protect my child.

A neighbour who lives near me has a teenage son with non verbal autism. He sometimes like to stand outside the front of the houses. Today my daughter was taking the dog out for a walk. He was outside naked with everything on display. My daughter stood in one spot and he kind of ran towards her. She came straight back in and locked the doo. I genuinely don’t think he meant anything by it but he was left alone for a couple of minutes.

I genuinely don’t want to upset his mum and I know he doesn’t understand why he cannot do that. My daughter feels quite shocked and said she will never go out the front again. I am now worried if he acts inappropriately again, how do I approach this situation gently.

I don't think anyone is really understanding what those figures mean. Assuming the lower end as accurate, only 1 in 20 sexual offenders have a history of indecent exposure. That's pretty low considering they're sex offenders and you'd expect them to have a history of it. Up to 1 in 10 at the upper end of what you said, and again still pretty low for sex offenders.

My daughter was assaulted by a young man with similar neurodiversity/llimited learning incapacity. I had flagged up to the so-called carers thar leaving him unattended for 23 hours a day resulted in him standing at windows & obsessing over women.
My daughter was 16, ptsd & asd. Her first foray to college after hospital school.
He chased her down the shared driveway & grabbed her in a clinch, kissing her hard, with tongue.
She refused to leave home for years & has anorexia.
Her response was compassion: we ensured he has had 24 hour care ever since & did not involve police etc. His quality of life has improved hugely: busy social life, holidays. This is good. But my poor daughter...
So equip your daughter with information & resilience, but also speak to your neighbour. Perhaps she needs more help & this incident could start the process. Do not risk your daughters wellbeing by believing differently abled people shouldn't face consequences-it doesn't mean bad or unpleasant. Both of them deserve their best life.

Your child is old enough to understand that he is essentially a toddler in an adult body. She doesn’t need to be ‘protected’. He didn’t do anything to her. Saying she’s never going out the front again is a very extreme reaction and you’d be better working on her understanding of the world.

Why does OP’s DD’s safety have to disregarded to accommodate this teen? He is likely stronger than OP’s dd.

I would report it so the family get additional support and OP’s can be safe.

Edit: Zombie, ffs.

Commented then noticed it’s an old thread .

Oh. I’m sorry! I don’t know how that happened! It was in my ‘active’ bit. My apologies!
