Autism and Haircuts: From Fear to Finding What Works

Haircuts and personal grooming can be overwhelming — especially for autistic individuals. The sounds, vibrations, unfamiliar tools, and pressure to “just get through it” can make something simple feel incredibly difficult.

In this video, Tyler shares his personal experience with haircuts, electric razors, and learning to find what works at his own pace. From early discomfort and fear to gradual practice and choice, this is a reminder that there is no right timeline — only what feels safe and comfortable for you.

Whether you’re an autistic adult, a parent, or a caregiver, this video is here to offer reassurance, understanding, and encouragement.
💙 No pressure.
💙 Your choice matters.
