Getting a hair cut

Marie1980

My son is 13, he has severe ADHD and autism. When he was younger he didn’t mind having his hair and even went to the barbers. Now, he refuses. We spoken about it together so I can understand why he doesn’t like it and the main reason seems to be because it’s change. He says that I might cut it wrong, he might not like it etc. I cut his her once on a Sunday night ready for school, the next morning he did everything not to go to school, I finally got him to the school gates and he was heartbroken thinking that his “entire school will laugh” at him. I physically couldn’t make him walk in to school so upset so we went home and I took a day off work. 
My question is - does anyone have any advise, tips anything that I can use to make having his hair cut easier for both of us? 
Thanks in advance!

  • As an adult man I've got most of my haircuts from womens places.

    I like having my hair washed then cut, and women generally seem to do a better job of it, ad I like the feeling of gentle hands washing my hair. (I've probably broken some sort of law already, with the first sentence but I'll press on!)

    The problem of course is money. When I had my money handling skills test at the C.A.B. my six monthly haircuts were the only thing they could fault me on in terms of frivolous expenditure.

    This year I finally took the plunge and cut my own hair using a clipper and it's the best I've looked for several decades.. Clearly for me that is the way forward. Still gotta buy clipper oil though...
