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

    My son James is 3, and the only thing that worked was by me lining up chocolate buttons on the table which he could resist, and I cut his hair while he is stood there!  hes still really not keen but gets more worked up before I start the clippersd, once they are going hes not as bad.  I think with him its the anticipation of the noise.

    Thankfully he is very food-led which helps with situations like this!
