Need advise

Hi everyone! I would like some advice really so that I can handle this situation the best way. My daughter 8 years old with ASD and the Tourette syndrome is a friend with another girl 6 years old. Them 2 get along very well. 2 other kids (girls, aged 6-8) don't like my DD. They keep teasing her and calling names. I tried to explain to my girl that there is absolutely nothing wrong with her and it is simply mean girls from the troubled families (which is true) try to cause trouble not only to her but to other kids too (for example, breaking their toys, bikes, etc). So I told her to stay away from them because as a mum I am worried. Those girls then seeing that my daughter stays away went on another level and went to complain to their mother that my daughter was horrible to them. Now... I was sitting and watching my child all that time and can definitely say that my girl was not even close to them to cause any harm.
However, their mother came right to my doorstep and told me and I quote "I am pissed and had enough of your daughter!" She then told me to keep her away from her daughter and EVEN said that she should play in her own backyard since we got our own house, and stay away from their yard which by the way is the street belonging to the council house where they live.

Now, I am very angry and frustrated that my girl gets this kind of treatment at the age just 8. But I am even more worried about this inadequate parent who comes and accuses a child rather than admit that her children don't behave very well really. I don't want any neighbours war of any sort, we are a good family, I got 2 year old and I can't afford more troubles but I am just afraid that if their goingto be more accusations I might lose it! 😡

No need to escalate, she wants the same thing as you. "Ok good idea, i will keep my daughter away from yours"

Some people are only happy if they're miserable, and misery loves company.

I would advise as little interaction as possible

Thank you Sbena yes, I agree. I am just a little intimidated if she will start picking on us. I might be completely paranoid though of course.
