This episode is so insightful to many of us that have autistic children specially those with severe sensory challenges. Haircuts can be exhausting, and stressful for us as the parents but also for our child. 
 
I know for my son it is A LOT to get a haircut!! I hope and pray that everything Ron and Monique shared during his episode can be helpful to you and your family.
