I have had the same hairstyle since I was a child

 - it never changes, I always leave my hair out and I don't feel comfortable wearing it up. It has to be left out. Is this a possible autistic trait too?

  • I think I am the opposite of you, regarding my hair. When I was younger, I liked to experiment with different hairstyles and lengths... right up until I became a mum and wanted a style that required minimal effort from me.

    For the past few years, I've opted to keep my hair short, as once it reaches a certain length it just irritates the heck out of me. Once it gets to that stage, out come the hair clippers.

  • I was tempted to go short as styling long hair can be a bit of a pain but my mum used to cut it short and I always felt it didn't suit me.

    My biggest problem with having long hair is that I chew it. A nasty stim I started in my teens and when I'm anxious it's my go to thing to do.
