Look at this poor man 
I knew, even whilst only half way through the article that he'd be autistic. It's a depressingly familiar scenario and happens time and time again to autistic people of all ages.
We had ten years of abuse and harassment from a neighbour's sons and the police were involved regularly. We moved after the neighbours joined in. It's nice where we are now and the people are nice.

Situations like this are so commonplace as people just don't seem to have a basic level of respect for others. I hope that the housing officials actually do something for this man and his family and they aren't just paying lip service.
I am so sorry to hear you had to endure years of neighbour abuse @BarrowInFurnessRailwayStation. Everyone has a right to feel safe in their own home. It must've been horrendous for you and for your family.
This BCC documentary shows very harrowing stories from various people who have health problems/disabilities.

Our criminal justice system should be much tougher on apprehending, prosecuting and punishing the scumbags who engage in this type of behaviour as it ruins lives.
