Help Please!! Haircuts!!

Hello everyone! My son, Harvey, is 3 years old and was diagnosed with severe autism, Most things are a daily struggle, one being cutting his hair, its getting so long and can no longer put it off now, If I take him into a hairdressers he freaks out, he has very little understanding of things so bribes or anything like that don't work, does anybody have some handy hints or tips that I could try? Thanks

  • We had the same problem with our little girl, what really helped was PECS picture sequence. We would go over it with her several times a day for about a week before going to the hairdresser and also take it with us on the day.
