Barbershops are a nightmare!

amzamee2019

I have 2 boys 4,5 with ASD. When I want my boys to have a nice haircut (better what I give) I take them to the local barber and its always difficult.

Do you think this is a good idea:

I am a Web Developer and I'm currently building a website that allows Barbers and Hairdressers to come to your house.

The website is non-profit and its geared to help people with disabilities/special needs look their best whether for their birthday or any special event.

Would this help anyone a part from me?

Thanks for reading

  • I think this is an excellent idea & in passing I've been to a barbers about 6 times in my life - 4 times in the last year. Expected chit-chat, listening to other chit-chat is a drain, but also what I find pretty hard is keeping track of "Who's next please?" when people keep coming and going and changing seat.

    You've said in the comments that there will be a photo of the hairdresser and portfolio - these are also excellent ideas.

    Picking up on NAS50343's comment, I'd agree that you're scratching against a bigger set of problems that could be met by something like "Check a Trade" for autistic people (and possibly other things that make social interaction difficult). But I don't think that should stop you going for your idea.

    'Check a trade' for Autistic people and family is a good idea. The problem is traders come to your house and do job with not much interaction e.g. My Boiler is broken and plumber will fix it. So its not really a huge problem. 

    I agree it would be nice to have like a market place for Autistic people and family to go and purchase services or products that are Autism friendly.

    Thanks for your comment.
