I (23M) live in a townhouse with my girlfriend and it has been relatively nice to live here. However, our neighbors, as the title suggests, have a nonverbal autistic child that makes our lives a living hell. He constantly bangs on the walls, to the point that it causes the very floor of OUR room to shake. These fits of banging happen without warning multiple times a day (at least once every 30 minutes to an hour on the weekends) and have been going on for 6months. I have spoken to them once about how I can hear the banging, but they seemed unreceptive (the man, who I assume is the father, I spoke with basically had a "tough shit" attitude). I have not tried speaking to them again, however, I am fed up.

I obviously don't want to involve the police or landlords because I understand that their child's behavior is just as frustrating for them and that the child has disabilities that are not his fault, but I am reaching my breaking point. I would like to speak with them again but am extremely unconfrontational. What should I do? What CAN I do? It seems like the only solution is for US to move, but that is not an option at this time, as our lease doesn't end until June and we can't leave for educational purposes until then.

Anything you guys can offer is greatly appreciated.
