Hair loss

My 21 year old ASD son has started losing his hair on one side, has anyone else experienced this, also he refuses point blank to see a doctor too, I just don't know what to do?

Sounds like alopecia areata. It usually has an autoimmune cause. It can be partially treated by corticosteroid creams. Protect hairless patches from the sun as the skin will have little protection from uv. I doubt it has any connection to autism as such.
