My nephew is 9 & autistic. My sister has to fight him to get him to go for a haircut & can't figure out why. I was commenting on how long his hair was & how hot it is in AZ & suggested he come with me for a haircut. He looked at me quite seriously & said, "I can't. My hairs cry out in pain when they are cut." He then started laughing & said that works with his mom every time. I loaded him up & away we went. He has a buzz cut & is so much cooler now.
