Jonah was diagnosed with Autism (severe/nonverbal) in 2016. Haircuts used to be impossible for us. It took years to get Jojo to sit in a seat and let a stylist cut his hair. He would scream and flail to high heaven.But through persistence we did it. And now typically, Jonah does fine letting a stylist cut his hair.But he has never expressed a “preference” for how his hair should be cut.So Jojo had a perfectly good haircut about a week ago, and it looked great. At least I thought so.But I noticed Jojo kept looking in the mirror saying “oopsies! Uh oh!” and then saying “it’s too long!” So I asked him if he wanted “shorter hair,” and he said “yes!”I found an old photo of when he accidentally cut his hair with scissors and we just shaved his head.I showed him the picture and asked “like that?”“Yes!” 😳This is the first time Jonah has requested a specific hairstyle… but, it’s his hair, so…(This was his reaction afterwards.) #ausome
