In Chat of all places. It's about my new neighbours.

"House is semi (won't mention all the rubbish which gets thrown from people using the walkway beside it) and the lovely family bordering us are fantastic!

We used to live next door to useless arses of fit young men who had children somewhere but no need to work at all other than to sometimes come and say that they had no food in the house, borrow a tenner and go straight to the dealer around the corner.

These people are a working couple with children aged nineteen and twenty one still living at home. When they introduced themselves to us they said they were Chinese.

Sometimes we can hear muted classical music drifting from their house of an evening.

Someone in the house can play beautifully and they have a wonderful instrument to do it on. Fur Elise this afternoon at practically concert standard, arpeggios and all.

I don't know how to explain ds's autism though, I really hope his screeching and waking at four doesn't piss them off too much

Any tips or ideas?

Maybe say in passing I heard your wonderful playing the other afternoon blah blah. I hope ds doesn't disturb you at night etc...

I have stood in the garden, when I know neighbours are in theirs, talking very loudly to one ds about other ds's shouting screaming etc so that they know but so I don't have to explain face to face. taking easy way out I know

Sounds like your new neighbours are big improvement

Ask if their children would like to babysit occassionally!?

They have autism in china you know Milady LOL! they should be fine; these days if your ead at all 9and if yuou can play well you're likely to be educated) then you will know what it is.

Our neighbour is quite elderly and qhen she moved in she gave me a lift and I just said I hope the boys don't annoyyou, they can be loud and screechy. She said no they won't, and in fact had she been really bothered she shouldn't have moved here as we are dead opposite a NAS base LOL, we're nowt compared to the resident of whom there are many.

She doesn't like us a bit and has been quite eman but never once complained about the noise (to our faces)- I think you have to be really low to mind, once you know.

God I'd love to meet the older children with a view to babysitting! Or piano-tutoring.

DS has perfect pitch and can play simple tunes by ear... but can't communicate enough to learn

Neighbours are a HUGE improvement yes, no illegal dogs yapping away!

find out who the musician is and get chatting music......
If it's the kids, that means you can talk music with the parents too as they must have invested quite a lot in it.

They'll be fascinated by your DS's aptitude....
