Hair washing and hair cuts are the hardest thing for my autistic son. He’s almost 3 and hates nothing more than water on his head or the sound of hair cutting/paper ripping. We’ve found a hairstylist who specifically cuts hair for autistic children. It’s been a blessing!

@@minxbella9342 as someone who’s autistic myself, earbuds definitely help better, I love the look of headphones and their shape but when it comes to sensory stuff the buds are the way to go. The sound sounds clearer, your ears don’t get pushed flat to your head, nothing on the top of your head, no worries abt sound leaking out, being able to both block out noise and still hear it if I keyed in also really helps. Earbuds just feel like they fit, and headphones feel like a nuisance, especially for sensory issues.

@@BB-TheCandleFairy I agree.. I just recently knew about the earbuds because of Cooper mom channel.. She have a deaf child with hearing aid implant and she says that the earbuds definitely help a lot for her to still listen to her child and respond to him but at the same time it helps reduce the noise so it won't be too much for her

I remember as a teen I had to take my 4yo sister with extremely hyperactive ADHD (and probably ASD as well, but never diagnosed cause back then you had to pick one or the other) to get a haircut. I don't remember if she didn't want to or she was just bouncing off the walls, but she refused to get it. In the end what got her to get the haircut was me telling her "After you're done, we're gonna go buy a BIIIG bag of candy and you don't have to share anything with your brother". She sat perfectly 😂 I got her a big bag of candy and the first thing she did when she saw her brother was run at him, bodyslam him into the ground and yell "I GOT CANDY DO YOU WANT SOME?" I was pretty proud of that one 😁

As an autistic woman, I’m really proud of this generation of parents of kids w autism for doing what previous generations didn’t, and that’s working with their autism rather than fight against it or try to erase it. I can tell you put him first in your approach. He’s going to grow up to be so well-adjusted and in tune with his needs and abilities. Every autistic kid deserves a mom like you ❤

hi! please dont share your age online, esp below the limits! it can be dangerous to do so as some people out there specifically look for younger kids. i get the motivation behind it, but i’ve made that mistake ^^

That’s good he was doing so well my brother is autistic(verbally) but he stems a lot one off the things he hates is hair cuts so he is doing very well in my opinion

I live in Colorado and I get soo excited every time you say colorado

I’m just ADHD to my knowledge and I remember being terrified of haircuts for so long when I was younger. My mom always tried to convince me I was being silly because it didn’t hurt but I just hated being touched… I still do

The worst part of hair related sensory input for me, being autistic myself is the hair dryer and washing my hair. I hate how loud the hair dryer is as it dries around my ears, and I usually just let my hair dry out naturally to avoid it all together. I don't like washing my hair because of how heavy your hair can feel after and the actual water being dumped overly hair so close to my ears. My hair is really short now for that reason.

So awesome! One of my mom's best friends is a hairstylist she would do it at her house a place my brother felt comfortable with. He calls her aunt as an adult just to give you an idea of how close they're

I absolutely love salons like this, I'm the second to youngest of 6 and have two autistic siblings ❤

His eyes are so big and cute And he also probably wants to be a nicely behaved boy ❤️

Hi! I'm hoping this comment doesn't come across wrong at all, I noticed in the beginning of the video Sawyer seemed sensitive to sounds in the room. As someone who is also super sensitive to sound I use loop ear plugs when I'm in a place that has too many sounds or is just too loud. Hope this helps!

Smart to krep iy regular. I was surprised the stylist kept turning his head back though - an accomodating salon would move themselves amd let him look at what he found appealing surely?

You manage that well with your little guy. My wife could only cut our sons hair while he was sleeping (birth to 5 yrs. Old). A bit of a challenge which could take several days to complete. Since he turned 5 he tolerates a hair cut (finally 😀)

Can I ask, was he diagnosed with autism?

Hey I noticed you had comments off on your video about your daughters dyspraxia, I wanted to let you know I did dance for years and it helped me so much with my dyspraxia. I went to a dance school that did most common types of dance and they were so patient and would even do one on ones when I struggled with a movement or would give me an easier alternative for me in harder routines. If it wasn’t for my adhd (undiagnosed and unmedicated st the time) and issues with my joints I’d still do dance but honestly it’s the reason why I can do a lot more today and it massively improved my dyspraxia to the point it hardly effects me, it usually shows up after a seizure cus my brain has to kinda recalibrate but that’s it and even then I can still walk in a semi straight line and do “complex” movements I couldn’t do as a kid. It also improved my spacial awareness as you had to make sure you gave others enough space to dance in so it’s helpful for a bunch of skills. Anyway stay awesome, I just found your family and have fell in love with your positivity. I know my disabilities are most likely going to be genetic and pass to my children in the future and I can only hope I can have the same outlook as your family of and when the time comes

The barber: GODDAMNIT CHILD QUIT TURNING YOUR HEAD AWAY FROM WHERE I PUT! (This is a joke where he kept turning his head after the barber moved it)

Why not just turn the chair when he's focusing on something? As long as he's not whipping around, if he wants to look at something, let him! Hairdressers and barbers turn their chairs all the time.

I totally agree with you let the child look at what he sees.

I have aurism ans honsetly even as a adult I have trouble with 2 things those buzzing sound or loud trimmers which is mostly find really but the thing I hate is the hairdryer thing to blow away the loose hair. I mean I love what it does or like the end result and really it is not really the noise but the hot air

I live in Colorado as well and I am exactly 10 years older then sawyer and Griffen I was also born September 8th and I also have disabilities.

Would Sawyer ever potentially tolerate an earplug? I'm an adult with sensory processing disorder and love earplugs like Loop, which I believe has a kids' option. It's like turning the volume down, but still allows me to communicate and experience life. But I know it can be hard to have even something small/comfortable in-ear.

Thanks for being a great mother, i wish I was your kid, my mom beat me up when i do things wrong and she know that i have autism, she tell me everytime that im disabled

It seems like all your kids have a condition or something like that what’s that baout

Hey girl, I love the attention you're putting into your son, but how are your other kids? I think I saw them in another video. I know having a disabled sibling can make you feel neglected, how are they doing?

You’re such a good momma!!!

He did so good. Haircuts were always traumatic for my son until he got about 10. Especially if they/we used clippers. I think it was the buzzing in his ear. He is 15 now and is still scared to death pf anything ghat buzzes especially bees and even hummingbirds. But at least he will allow them to use clippers on him now😊

Something that will help him is when he starts to hyper foucas draw that focus to you as you stand in front of him. I have adhd and high functioning autism I may have a different type of autism but this typically helps me.

I'm autistic and have adhd and washing and caring for my hair is really hard

My 3yr old screams the whole time. Im glad its my husband friend that does it he handles him well.

GET THIS YOUNG MAN A LOLLIPOP (I’m joking but my best friend’s little brother has autism and hates haircuts and he always asks if he can get a lollipop)

I had to watch this twice because I literally zoned out in the middle of it

As a Autistic adult I remember when I was a kid I hated getting my hair cut. But it changed as I grew up and now I can dye it.

Great looking haircut!

No offense but why do so many of your children have different conditions?? Are they adopted or are they yours?? Just wondering..

I always struggle with washing my little sisters hair the most because she hates the sensory, and since she has curly hair I also have to blow dry it so that way I can style it foot the week. Seeing her cry makes me sad because I can see real tears in her eyes. Do you guys have any suggestions as to how I can help her feel more comfortable?

Would you post information about hair salon that you went.

I understand the method of a person with autism and ADHD tends to me overwhelmingly; especially when its hard for them to stand still and distraction. They tend to have anxiety

I am autistic and haircuts bother me. I can tolerate them for a bit but maybe only 15-20 minutes at a time. My mum cuts my hair now as she can do it a lot quicker than the hairdresser can. She also does a great job at keeping me distracted.

She didn't need to keep turning his head she could've moved with him.

I fell like almost every one of your children has a disorder or something .I fell so bad for y’all because my cousin has a child with autism and all he does is spin toys in circles all day . He just turned 2 and he’s still does not talk are look at you when you say his name . But when I pick him up and spin him around he likes the wind blowing and he giggles it’s so cute .

Why do you care if he hyperfocuses on things he's interested in?
