Hair cutting and dressing

shopgirl

Can anybody help! How on earth do I get my son (3.5yrs) to have his hair cut without having a meltdown? Until a few months ago he was not so bad but recently has decided this hurts. I've done all the prep with social stories, role play on teddy, images on the internet & YouTube. We even said grandma could do it at home so it was someone and where familiar. Help!!!!

also we've been working towards teaching him to dress himself for a while now but it's going so slowly. I read something yesterday that suggested it's common for kids with asd to never learn to dress themselves. Is this true?

  • just tell him he will look like a girl if it grows too much - it worked with me. Another option is a hair clipper, although have also experienced pain with these as well but some are great and cut through hair like a knife through butter so make sure you read the online reviews. There are no blades involved, it is quite quick and it doesn't hurt at all if you get the right ones.
