How I wish you were around when my younger brother was little! We grew up in the 70s when it seemed no one knew the word autism except my family. We grew up in Philly and every barber shop black listed my brother because he "needed a good slap". My mom learned how to cut his hair and now that my parents are gone I cut his hair. He is 52 now and could do fine at a barber but routine rules his world and im not switching anything up that I don't have too. God Bless you Sir and thank you for helping parents and children. My mom would cry after every unsuccessful outing. I wish she could see how the world has changed!
This whole thing nearly made me cry. My little sister has autism, and has severe sensory "isms" (as we call them) about her head. She hates having her head touched, and when she was young, it was difficult to cut her hair. Hairstylists and barbers had no clue how to handle her, so haircuts were always done at home. This man is doing wonders for the community of neurodivergent children, and I hope you continue to do so, sir.
Got tears man my son is on the spectrum....and this was very hard for my son when he was younger ...thank you for making this the best experience possible for this young man...keep making people smile ❤
Don’t second-guess yourself or what you’re doing. It was hard to watch but surgeries are difficult to watch but usually the end result is life changing or life saving. This child is better because he met you, and you him ❤ Much love and respect ❤
It's amazing how quickly he trusted you as a person, yet still didn't like that chair. I can't be crying at work, but this is the love that makes it hard to keep ones composure.
Omg the interaction is just brilliant ...from.being scared to giving hugs building trust and in the end ... Was more like a game for that gorgeous baby boy ...
You're amazing how you have such patient especially with kids it's a beautiful gift from God You are blessing so many people I love your work God bless you and you have continued success 🙏🏽💯🔥💯🔥
And seeing this will perhaps help those of us who do not have children with special needs (especially those needs you can't see on the outside) be more understanding. It's easy to dismiss kids as "bad" or "undisciplined" when they are just trying to deal with the confusing world around them.Hats off to you sir.
Yess ABA Therapy !! Sensory and Moter Skills will help develop communication... the screams and winning IS Communication like learning New Born Babies crys for care May the Lord Continue to Bless 🙌 You ❤
I dont know if this will work but you could hold the kids hand and shave your beard or trim a little hair so the kiddo can feel and understand whats happening, just trying to view from a young childs eyes they're maybe more comfortable if they may experience whats going on.
Your examples of affirming him reminds me of the PCIT I didn’t with my children. Worked wonders for their confidence and listening skills. It’s hard to do but totally worth it.
