NorwayMom40423.1293634259Autism Speaks has an article and video about hair cuts here: http://www.autismspeaks.org/community/family_services/haircu ts.php I found this tip on the Positively Autism site, which is run by one of our members.  I highly recommend subscribing.  It's free. http://www.positivelyautism.com/   Just a idea but I know soem might soem might not. my hairdresser comes to peoples houses. So you may want to look into that. Great ideas so far! NorwayMom, I was going to post a link to that AutismSpeaks video. :) I thought it was really helpful. It has tips for hairstylists to use when giving haircuts to children with Autism. I've met that child in the video. He's a sweet kid, and I'm glad the experience went pretty well for him. Nicole
