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 often buzz cut my own hair. It takes a long time as I need to go over it many times to get the straggler hairs. There are areas that I don’t dare try to straighten up. My side burns and back of my neck. Otherwise I simply use a #2 in the most of the year and a #3 in the winter.
