I’ve been cutting Coops hair for 3 years. He is autistic and severe on the spectrum. He is also nonverbal. At age 2 1/2, we were banned from Cost Cutters after a manager was called because the screaming was so intense that customers were complaining of an abused child. So….I bought a clippers for $25 and went to town. For years he kicked, hit, screamed and cried. It was a terrible experience. This has been 6 years of progress. 5 minutes baby!! If you have haircut woes I recommend doing it yourself. It’s easier than you think.
