An issue that I haven't seen addressed, yet is an autistic resident living in an apartment home. Autistic people are often more sensitive to sound than the general population. Normal sounds such as vacuume cleaners can cause problems. And they have trouble expressing themselves which can result in a lot of noise. Repetitive behaviours can also include noises such as whistling or humming.

Families with autistic kid(s) have a range of economic circumstances. Adults with autism are often unemployed or under-employed, so expensive well sound-insulated apartment homes aren't always an option. Cities usually have better services than small towns, and people have to go where the jobs are.

So, given all that what should a family that includes an autistic person do?
