The query has been requested. How do I navigate haircuts with my 3 autistic children. I believed since Elliott actually simply walked out from getting one, we’d speak about it.
Generally, haircuts are simple now but it surely wasn’t at all times that approach. When the boys had been little, it was a sensory nightmare. I’d postpone haircuts for so long as I might as a result of I knew how tough it could be for the youngsters and everybody else concerned.
There have been occasions that I might have their hair minimize actually brief simply so it could take a bit of longer earlier than we would have liked to return.
The boys struggled with sitting nonetheless. The noise from the electrical clippers freaked them out and the little hairs that had been left behind made them itch and drove them loopy.
It wasn’t till we discovered a neighborhood place referred to as Kuts4Kidz that it turned simpler. The entire surroundings was extra child pleasant. They obtained to take a seat on carousel horses, and watch films. The stylists had been very affected person and had been in a position to get cooperation by means of redirection.
As time went on, it obtained simpler and simpler. In the present day it’s not a difficulty anymore and I’m grateful for that. I merely drove them to the salon and wait within the automotive. They clarify what they need, use my bank card to pay, and head again to the automotive once they’re completed.
It was a course of to get right here however they’re doing so effectively and I couldn’t be prouder.
