Autistic daughter and hair
My daughter is 9yd old and has autism. She just started aba which helps her behavior. She has sensory issues with a lot but more so with getting her hair done (tenderheaded on steriods)
Family is asking me when you getting her hair done repeatedly as if its the countdown to the 12 days of Christmas.
Daughter doesnt want locs. Her hair is hard to detangle. She is texturized. Still hard to detangle and takes me working on her hair daily in the evenings to every other day so it doesnt loc up. I am doing my best.
We listen but we do not judge.
What would you do.
