Hi Im New here

jo1976

My son who is 6 years old is currently having assessments for Aspergers Syndrome, So theres no diagnosis as of yet, but the teachers, child psychologist and myself think that he has these traits.

Its taking forever for the diagnosis, I just want to know so I can get help and some support cos it really is hard work!

I do have a little question that I would like to ask about my son, everytime I want to cut his hair or his nails he proper goes off on one and cant get nothing done, I need to cut his hair for school on Monday as a photographer is going to school.

Last time I cut his hair, it was very uneven and looked awful to be honest cos he never stayed still and I felt so bad cos he was heart broken :(

Is there any ideas that you could maybe share with me, as I dread cutting his hair and nails, and really dont fancy pinning him down cos I will feel awful!

Thank you

Jo

  • Hi Jo1976,

    As an Aspie myself I had issues surrounding haircuts as well when I was little. The way my parents got around it was by taking my teddy bear with me to the hairdressers so that I would have something familiar and comforting with me, then bribing me with a treat afterwards. Not sure if this will work for your son, but it was worth a suggestion.

    Good luck with the diagnosis. I hope everything goes the way you want it to and you, your son and the rest of your family get the support you need and deserve.
