I’m autistic, I’ve had one haircut since covid because I hate the sensory aspect of haircuts. I’ve been searching online of how to cut hair and it doesn’t look that hard, but a lot of people seem to advise against it. I think that if I fuck it up it’s not the end of the world, I can just go to a professional. But I have very long hair so I have a lot of opportunity for trial and error. I think that if I get some practice, it’s something I can continue to do going forward. I also don’t particularly care how it looks, I just want it to be shorter.
I’ve been cutting my own hair for 30 years. I’m pretty good at it now but it’s still not easy (I’m also autistic). i use ear plugs to block the sound of the electric clippers and I just try to get it over with quickly. I don’t do anything fancy, keep it short and neat, and if I mess up I’m okay with shaving it all off. blank slate haha
