Brushing hair

Aspie Danni

Does anyone else hate the feel of there hair and struggle with brushing it and washing it to?

I'm pretty sure this is part of my autism but I've never been able to do this without sort of shuddering seconds later. The older I'm getting the more severe my sensitivity is getting. My sister brushes my hair for me and washes it.

Hair is horrible especially when its wet.

  • Yep, I couldn't manage my hair on my own until I was well into my teens, partly because it was very long and thick but mostly because I really struggled with the sensory aspects of washing and brushing it.

    These days I can manage okay most of the time but it still feels like a huge undertaking to wash my hair, and I still struggle with the feeling of having my hair brushed/combed at the hairdressers.
