My wife got a drape with a little window so that he can play on his tablet. I realized that if I put him in the bathtub and just make sure each trimming goes in the trash and not the water that works, too. <br /><br />Problem with my method is that I'm a bad barber and he will always hop out the minute he sees hair in the water.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01181662757993089386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527055659904040434.post-85005928906742991322012-06-25T09:52:45.674-07:002012-06-25T09:52:45.674-07:00I was very pleased to find this internet-site.I wi...I was very pleased to find this internet-site.I wished to thanks on your time for this glorious read!!

He also disliked haircuts, especially when it came to the electric buzzer for the neck and around the ears. At one point the fastest haircut was the easiest. A #5 Blade all around and we were done. But he began to want his hair longer. his hair being thick it took a while to hand cut the entire head. Now it is all that I can do to for him to allow me to just give him a trim when he begins to look scraggly. Others will comment that his hair looks nice after the haircut but that does not make it any easier to get him to have one. He also moves and fidgets a great deal making whoops much more likely. I do not know the answer but am grateful that you wrote so that I know it isn't just me that struggles with haircuts...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527055659904040434.post-55289200519481477292011-12-02T08:05:23.230-08:002011-12-02T08:05:23.230-08:00my sons first hair cut ended up with a call to 911...my sons first hair cut ended up with a call to 911! He was so scared he passed out, we didn't know what was wrong, the shop called 911 because he turned blue from lack of oxygen and then came out of it. We did not know about autism at the time, but we did think something was off about him. Then it started to make more sense when he was 7 and we had him diagnosed with Aspergers. We let him have his hair anyway he wanted it after that, and it has remained long even today at 13. Both of my teens have their hair how ever they want it as long as it gets wash every night and it is combed in the morning.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527055659904040434.post-39885022667539279792011-12-02T07:39:18.557-08:002011-12-02T07:39:18.557-08:00My son has major issues with getting his hair cut....My son has major issues with getting his hair cut. I always thought he was just being picky. Im just learning about autism and asperger's with the help of his doctoer and teachers, so Im starting to understand that is part of the reason why he just cannot stand the buzz clippers or scissors in his hair.<br /><br />I know most moms would say just let his hair grow. However he has thick unruley hair, and he is already having social problems, so Im doing the best I can to help him fit in however I can.<br /><br />I have held him down, I have tried cutting a little by little until Im done, Ive taken him to watch everyone else get hair cuts, we just have a hard time getting through them.<br /><br />Any ideas?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527055659904040434.post-16172407550967677752011-08-23T03:14:04.551-07:002011-08-23T03:14:04.551-07:00I really liked the article, and the very cool blog...I really liked the article, and the very cool blogAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
