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.


If you’re going to try the scissor route, I recommend you aim for messed up. Like anime style, lots of different lengths going lots of directions. Then you might actually do something nifty. If you try to do anything even or any fades, you’ll have a very hard time.
I shave my head daily in the shower. It feels good, requires no mirror, and always looks consistent. Have been doing it for years.
Yeah I think I can manage a messy look, I’ve bought some hairdressing scissors I’m going to have a go tonight
This is the only way I’ve been able to do it. Don’t try for sleek lines, embrace the scruff. It’s not bad once you get the hang of it. The back of the head it tough, but doable. Maybe have a friend do the neckline
