Hi and Welcome back and thank you for Living with Damaj, That's us!  Daddy and Mommy and Joshua = damaj.  Today we go to great clips and we let Joshua (who is High functioning autism) have his VERY Loong hair cut so that its more manageable for him.  He has many issues with brushing his hair due to Sensory Processing disorders, and on top of this he has very High Anxiety in ANY Social setting and talking with other people.  We allow him to engage with the beautician (with help from mom and dad) to tell her what he wants done with his hair.  He is getting Increasingly better every year and with every hair cut and we are so proud of this little guy!  NOT little anymore though. In fact he is in his "Tween" years now and Puberty is coming along quicker than I know what to do?!?!  I will be documenting this part of Joshua's Journey (as long as he is comfortable with this!) Thank you for watching and please if you like this video give Joshua a Big Thumbs up for Joshua CRUSHING this Haircut, in fact he looked like at one point that he just might go to Sleep he was SO relaxed 😴😍 Join us as Joshua learns to overcome his many symptoms of Autism, the older he gets the better the symptoms get and that is the hope we have for so many other families out there!  To understand that many children do Grow out of many of their Autism symptoms the older they get with better communications skills and a better understanding of their world around them!!
