Haircuts as an autistic person

Wib

So I’m really due a haircut. However, I find the entire experience to be a nightmare. I have really bad sensory issues when it comes to people or anything being near my head and the noises of the barbering stuff. I also find the small talk part difficult and struggle to explain to the barber how I want my hair done. Does anyone have any tips if they’ve had similar issues ? Trying to hype myself up to go on Thursday but it’s a struggle lol.

  • I now cut my own hair, plus shave, with an industry-style shaver; which I bought at a local Chemist.

    A friend of mine, who picked me up to run errands, said he 'could tell' that I cut it myself; saying that it's all over the place. However, I'm throughother by nature.

    Besides, I have no choice but to learn to do it myself. Men here are so used to Mammy/The Wife doing it for them.
