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!

  • My son is 12 and is the same with haircuts. We can't take him to the barbers any more, my husband and I give him a trim at home and it is a herculean task each time!  And he cries for many hours complaining how foolish his haircut makes him look.  This time his hair had grown to his shoulder and his scalp full of dandruff and he started experiencing hair fall as he barely lets us wash his hair.  There's no easy way out I suppose.  Let me know if you find a better way, I'd be very interested.
