Autism and Haircuts! My autistic and nonverbal son overcomes his fear of haircuts! 

For the Love of Gabe

Gabe is autistic and nonverbal. He has struggled with getting his haircut for most of his life. When we found his hairdresser Ping Gabe started to become more comfortable over time and with practice. Ping is also nonspeaking because she is deaf.
In the past it would take several people to hold Gabe while he got his haircut and a lot of rewards. Now when he walks in he jumps into her chair on his own and allows her to give him a haircut. Recently he started to allow her to use the buzzer on him and style his hair with hair gel! He looks amazing thanks to Ping!

Gabe CLEARLY needs his own water bottle or better yet, squirt gun! He had so much fun with it. He did awesome and you can see where he was super uncomfortable and yet, still “helped” her cut his hair. He came out looking like a Model! She did a wonderful job on Gabe. Kudos to both!

Laughing honestly might make him feel embarrassed for setting boundaries. That’s (probably) the only way he knows how to **politely** decline something. I personally feel embarrassed when someone laughs when I do something that I see as “normal”. You didn’t do anything wrong, though!

I was wondering this entire time why she didn't speak as well, but then afterwards I read the description. Also, this is the first video in which I hear sounds coming from Gabe's mouth and based on those few sounds I think his "voice" sounds nice. And I have to admit: I love this video! Never have I ever watched the entire 21 minutes and 36 seconds of someone getting a haircut. And Gabe's smile from the moment it's almost done is hard not to love. It's great to see him happy like that.

@@fortheloveofgabe I can imagine. Being on the autism spectrum myself I recently got to the feeling of being relaxed at the hairdresser now that I have been visiting her a few times since she started her own little salon at home. I like it because there's basically no other customers around when I'm in the chair and that makes me feel a lot more comfortable to have some small talk, but it's also okay not to talk if I don't want to.
