Autistic Girl Haircut For Back To School

Better titled, Girl's Haircut For Back To School because it's just a pixie cut but she is an autistic girl after all and as you know autism and haircuts can be a nightmare with sensory processing disorder. Abigail did so well! We went to her school for orientation and she was so happy. We are happy as well for the changes to her curriculum and ABA therapy push-in in the classroom. Lastly, we got a couch.

Long hair, short hair, red hair, curly hair, straight hair no hair no matter what kind of hair...Abigail is a beautiful young lady.

[@dungnguyetxuanbui0403]

Tay Roberts she truly is a beautiful young lady , and she understands a lots more than people give her credit for . This is a wonderful family I don’t understand where all the mean comment come from . 😩

[@JACKFIREBAND]

Agreed

[@deborahspencer5819]

What can people possibly be thumbing down? It's a cute haircut on a cute kid! And it's hair...it grows just so we can all rinse and repeat.

[@orbandavid9099]

Yes

[@amberkeys2124]

She really is beautiful no matter what her hair looks like but she has amazing bone structure which allows for her to look so cute with short hair. I'm thin an all but could never pull it off. Super cute haircut Abbi cadabi 😜💖!!

[@rachel.beth99]

Abbie and her chair: the real reunion here

[@cristinaartista9693]

10:45 when Abby gives her dad a kiss😌... that was the sweetest thing! She know what great parents she has👍🏻

[@fixrite11]

I think abby gave her dad a kiss because he was telling everyone how proud he was of her for sitting so well for the haircut. just an opinion.

[@joanerdelyi4807]

I thought maybe Abby was comforting her daddy while he was getting his hair cut. So cute...

[@EHCBunny4real]

I think she looks like a teenager and she's adorable in her new pixi cut.

[@fatheringautism]

So much sass and now her hair matches.

[@megansmith1547]

@@janethoulette1802 actually it is. And regardless of if it is a pixie or a Bob or an A-line it is STUNNING. 🤷‍♀️❤

[@kimberlycarpentermiller2236]

I'm just heartsick over her hair.I THOUGHT you said a while back you were going to grow it back out.I agree the cut is cute but it's just not Abbie.oh well to each his own she's your daughter.

[@charlottee4008]

Kimberly Carpenter miller like they said in the video if you don’t like it don’t comment she looks so pretty either way

[@emilyhelms9629]

Kimberly Carpenter miller very true! the cut isn’t her at all. but if that’s what they want for her then ok. but it just doesn’t match her personality

[@k.p.8287]

Abbie pulls it off very well and I don't compliment unless I mean it! She looks beautiful either with short or long hair. She has a beautiful feminine angel face! Love! 💖

[@nhazex3]

16:25 That smile Abby gave after Cilla said “If you don’t like it, don’t comment.” Warmed my heart ❤️ It’s very obvious that y’all are loving, supportive parents and you can tell Abby knows it, too 😊 😊

[@mariaespinoza6358]

9:50... Don't tell me that ain't a model look right there ... Something they tell them to do on antm .. all the time. Abbie did it without trying ... 😘💋💕💗💗

[@Dexy83]

My Mom taught me if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all. That's a lesson that all your subscribers should keep in mind. Autistic, short, sensory processing disorder, chunky, anxiety disorders, underweight, typical or non- typical doesn't matter...don't say anything if you can't be nice. Keeping that in mind...I'm with y'all...it is an adjustment for anyone that makes drastic changes to their hair. Personally, one one of the very first things I noticed about Abigail is how beautiful she is, and she is one of the fortunate people that can carry off any style of hair cut. No joke, super jealous of her bone structure, she's gorgeous!!

[@Hello-vu8pt]

Dexy83 true like i dont love that hairstyle but i dont just start hating because i dont agree

[@jennifermurdock945]

One more thing...Did anyone else notice the way she ran to her chair? It was like she was saying, “Hello friend I really missed you!” The absolute joy in that moment! I even felt her happiness. I remember when the chairs where in your dining room and that’s where she’s do her morning rocking. That was awhile ago.

[@staceykellett7147]

Oh I love Abbie’s haircut short hair rocks also when Abbie smiles it’s breathtaking pure innocence at its finest

[@alexandriamelito]

My cousin has autism and every time he gets a hair cut they shave his hair down to his scalp, and people ALWAYS complain on their photos. People need to understand that first and foremost, hair length doesn't make you more or less beautiful, or more or less of a respective gender. Hair grows back, and when you have a child who doesn't style their hair themselves every single day, certain hair lengths, specifically short hair, are significantly easier to maintain and manage. Abigail, your hair cut looks BEAUTIFUL and I truly wish I had the face and courage to pull off short hair like that. My hair is also naturally very curly so I can't cut it too short :(

[@karenjones2752]

Alexandria Geneve it happens with my brother

[@mawithaxdd]

People also need to understand that a lot of us autistic people hate haircuts and it can be a traumatic experience every time. I only get a haircut 3-ish times a year because of the problems it causes me. Cutting it shorter makes it so the individual doesn’t have to get a haircut as often.

[@harperkate8021]

It was so funny when she ran to her "throne" 😂😂

[@cassandramartinez7050]

She was so happy to go back to her chair

[@katjaklocker2334]

😃😊👍

[@folandashank4696]

Awe I loved this part that was so cool

[@folandashank4696]

She is simply adorable so beautiful

[@seashell0972]

Abbies haircut is adorable.

[@mindbodyandsoul.myjourneyt9797]

I always wonder just what Abby sees when she looks at things,, you can see she doesnt seem them the way we do just by the way she looks,, she always melts my heart and yes I even get choked up when I see her excited, it makes me excited for her,, love how nurturing everyone in her life is,, what a gift she has in you both as wonderful parents! OH and I must admit I just adore her spunky and sometimes troublemaker personality :)

[@katiekawaii]

Dawn's New Light I have to admit, when she turns the lights off on people, I find it hilarious. I'd be a terrible influence hahaha

[@533134]

Dawn's New Light that and what is she thinking 🤔

[@DaJesster0405]

katie kawaii this always cracks me up.

[@Milly11113]

Abigail can pull off any haircut! She's beautiful! 🤗❤❤❤

[@Ch3lRae]

Why did I just cry when Abbie went to sit by the lights at the school!?!? 😭😭😭😭 she’s so sweet

[@pamelajones4412]

When abbie stepped into her room with the lights it was amazing a sense of calmness came over me how beautiful

[@seattlegirl2077]

She's a pretty girl - long hair or short! Glad you had a good day.

[@TheUniverseOfficial]

All these people working in this school deserve so much respect. Real Heroes!

[@kayleew68748]

Her hair looks absolutely great! It will also allow you to space out her hair cuts before it gets too long and overwhelming.

[@Cheye-one]

You are so lucky to have such a great school for Abbie. Her haircut looks awesome. My son wears a ponytail and I don’t care what people say.

[@itsukioka557]

Cheye one is the school a normal high school

[@Cheye-one]

Itsuki Oka My son attends a special needs school

[@emilyxx6689]

Itsuki Oka no it’s a special school which will help Abbie with her needs

[@cleotaylor1860]

My son is 6 and has really long hair. We keep it in a single braid and he never messes with it. With his little quirks, stranger danger is a big quirk. If you get a DR's note for the school, the school can not dictate the length. Abby's hair looks beautiful.

[@mileyrocks852]

Personally for me the haircut is such a change for me to see! She’s always such a cutie

[@fatheringautism]

I know! It’s a big change for sure. I keep doing double takes.

[@bunnylovesapples]

I am glad that she has you as parents who understand her special Needs. I know she may not understand it but you love her and thats important

[@amberandrews9558]

I’ve always had a special place in my heart for kids with autism, I have not met one that isn’t just sweet and kindhearted. I really want to be sort of like a musician for autistic children.

[@rosafaymall7131]

Your right perssilla my momma always said if u don't have anything nice say keep mouth shut...but she looks so much cooler

[@annadimartino2726]

Abbie’s hair is awesome. Brings out her beautiful facial features even more. That one lady on fb was very nasty trying to say because she knows someone she can say something nasty. Even though she didn’t even know you 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@abbieholgate5266]

Anna DiMartino what happened

[@annadimartino2726]

Hayley May because it was kind of funny. The lady was replying to Priscilla’s fb comment and not realizing who she was talking too 😂 fatheringautism commented and was like “uhm we don’t know you though?”

[@stressmess3469]

Why not ????

[@annadimartino2726]

Hayley May I really don’t know what I said that was mean? I didn’t say names lol

[@annadimartino2726]

Hayley May they commented on it in the video. So unless you are going to make a comment towards them saying the exact same thing then I don’t think you have room to say I’m being mean. They were taking about the exact same conversation I was talking about. I’m sorry if you felt a certain way but Priscilla had replied to me saying “funny right” because I pointed out to the lady who she was talking to. This channel is about positivity and I was just relating.

[@robinpinkham9398]

How adorable! !! Abbys haircut is precious on her. Suits her beautiful bone structure. You go girl!!!

[@Linaker22]

I love how when you're in Abbie's face telling her she looks cute she pushes you away like "nah dad come on this isn't cool, go away"

[@kimberlyandrus5174]

EXACTLY WHAT MAMA BEAR SAID! I had my hair shaved for brain surgery and a few family members had rude comments about it. I am verbal and it did hurt my feelings. A part of me is kind of grateful that Abbie is non verbal and doesn't understand the rude comments and it won't hurt her feelings but at the same time I'm sure not understanding the rude comments could be frustrating. I love you Abbie girl. ❤

[@Lau2u72]

You GO MamaBear! No one deserves comments like that, special needs or not. Child or adult. It is beyond rude. Keep the negative remarks to yourselves. Abbie looks super cute...ALWAYS! She did awesome sitting for her haircut, and it looks great! Also, I'm happy to see her so excited about going back to school.

[@debmiller5187]

I am a retired spec ed teacher and I cried seeing Abbie's classroom! It is amazing! I love that she is sooooo excited. Abbie, your haircut is just darling! What a movie star look. Such a beautiful grown up Girlie! God bless you all!! ICE CREAM!!

[@trinadennewitz7892]

She is adorable! I LOVE the haircut. It is so cute on her. Not sure if she like headbands or hair-clips, some autistic kids don't, but that would be cute too. You are great parents! Keep doing what you're doing because she seems to be thriving! Many blessings!

[@ekidd79]

That is a truly sassy teenage haircut...and Abbie's was great too :-P

[@animestarz1768]

Abbie is so pretty, she can really pull off any haircut!💕

[@nicolemadsen3463]

I'm so proud of you, Abbie! You were a rock star at your orientation day and you were so patient during your haircut. Way to go beautiful girl!

[@samanthasowell6350]

My son is moderate to severe on the spectrum but high functioning. He is almost 16. It took until he was 14 to sit down in a stylist chair with no tears and SERIOUS stress. He walked in like a man looked through the book picked out a style and nailed it. I was the one that cried! LOL I'm so happy for you guys and Abbie honey you look great!

[@wt0416]

I love her new hair. She looks great with short hair. She also did great at her school orientation. I think abbie is looking fwd to school and she really missed her teachers.

[@marleenhoncoop4188]

I LOVE THE SHORT HAIRCUT ON ABBY! It makes her look more age appropriate.

[@Ranaluv77]

I think she understands more than ppl give her credit for, did you see the cute lil smile she gave her mom when Cilla was gettin’ mama bear abt not saying something about her hair if it’s not nice? 16:29 I giggled. That was adorable. And that kiss she gave daddy when he was getting a haircut. Seemed like a ty dad. :)

[@sumtxflygrl1]

Wow!! I’d die for a sensory room like that. I have 1 room, and had to make room dividers out of pvc pipe and shower curtains to create a chill/work space. Hoping to write a grant soon. The bubble tube..........awesome!

[@emma_in_mn]

Priscilla looked like such a young pretty mom at the end of the video in her pajamas!!!❤️❤️

[@CJ-sg3vs]

Abbie is rocking that sassy hair cut.

[@clairevaleski6598]

I love Abbie’s new haircut! It is seriously so cute, I’m sure she will love it too because the heat in Florida is so hot and the hair is off her neck!!!

[@mollie-jogriffin4736]

I love seeing a smile on Abbie’s face it makes my day ❤️

[@shebeesstitchyworld]

She’s growing up. WOW, it is cut short. It’ll be easier to take care of and the hair won’t be in her face. I wore my hair short....it looks cute on her. Don’t pay attention to those that are nasty. She looks like she understands what mom is saying.

[@SpectrumMommyAmylee]

Awww she looks beautiful with her new do! My 17 yr old son just recently got over his fear with haircuts and we have been successful at the hairdresser the last 3 times :)!

[@anniekook]

Abby's hair cut is so cute, pretty girl!

[@leecydevenitch2646]

Abbie is so beautiful!! No matter what hairstyle she has I love this cut so much not many people can pull off short hair but Abbie rocks it!! When I had brain surgery I had to get my head shaved after it started growing back my favorite length was the length Abbie has. You are all amazing!!

[@ItsJoeysworld]

Love Abbie's school! All those lights, so cool! Geez, everyone is so busy talking about the length of Abbie's hair, and to us, the BIG point is how well Abbie did during the haircut! Huge Milestone! You've come along way,girl! Your living room wall looks so much brighter,too. Asa, forget about sewing the cushions on the couch. Get industrial strength Velcro. that way, you can still flip the cushions and take ff the cushions, should you decide to cover them, or if you have to clean them.

[@Angie-in1tt]

Its Joeysworld ....... I so agree re Abbie, we all need to focus of how amazing was when her hair was getting cut. I also totally agree re the Velcro, it will also help if you need to wash the covers.

[@ItsJoeysworld]

Thanks Angie!

[@katiekawaii]

Unfortunately, people absolutely do tell neuro-typical girls whether their hair (clothes, makeup, body, face, personality...) is attractive or not. Constantly. It's not a special needs issue, it's a much more pervasive problem.

[@carlottathefriendlyperson7710]

katie kawaii is it a problem?

[@LisaMichele]

katie kawaii yep. "who's a pretty girl" vs. telling a little boy how smart or strong he is. we have a ways to go as a society with how we treat and value boys vs girls.

[@jgr_lilli_]

I second that. In my family, it was always rather a "good job" for my boy cousins and a "pretty girl" for me.

[@MGMG0]

Totally agree with this , my grandmother always have told me ever since I was younger not to have a parting in my hair when wearing a ponytail

[@sj4iy]

People make those comments about my 9 year old daughter on occasionally and it gets on my nerves. The last thing I want is some prude saying something that could hurt my daughter's confidence.

[@pammusselman4038]

I think her hair is adorable. She's a beautiful young lady and you are two great parents. I was taught if you don't have anything nice to say, just don't anything.

[@ashleyw7588]

And I'm 32 years old to the parents I hope your reading this although your struggling just remember we also are greatful to have you as our parents, R.I.P MY MOM, My mom died in 2008 from cancer so to all you parents out there don't give up please, keep with it

[@hayleyolsen3534]

Love the hair! I swear the shorter her hair gets the more grown up she looks.

[@nalanicorkett1144]

She is so beautiful love her haircut it really matches her

[@tkentch]

She’s a beautiful girl and it actually hard to tell she struggles most of the time, short hair looks fabulous on her!

[@allyse733]

I wish I had such a colorful and interactive school. I don't have autism but I would like to see these other schools step it up, Because lectures aren't enough.

[@buttholesadness5239]

Ally B most schools either have a special ed class OR a entire special ed school

[@mariannelovesbabies8559]

Ally B the school is like that b-cos they think som autistic and special needs kids can't learn like regular kids do. U don't hav autism or special needs so y do u need a school which only offers daycare and therapy? I'm in a wheelchair and did a lot better in regukar scool

I hope to apply the parenting skills I've learned from you guys. I love how you treat and respect both your children regardless of any of their differences. Y'all are just amazing and inspirational.

This makes me so happy....how far she’s come. I don’t even know how to express it it makes me cry tears of joy. We’ve seen how hard you’ve worked to help her grow and adapt and tolerate her surroundings and she’s just soaring. I am so happy for you all.

[@harryportfelikartakredytow8907]

She did so well! Must be way more comfortable for her to have shorter hair. I'm glad you encourage her to experience new things and say your proud of her every time she behaves well, she must be grateful even if she doesn't enjoy it at first. She's lucky to have such parents :)

[@marykirkpatrick9382]

This was great to see Abbie getting her haircut so nicely. My son used to scream and then try to put his hair back on his head (from the hair clippings)after the haircut. He is much better with hair cuts now.

[@karlahvee9498]

Awwww such a beautiful hair cut Abbie. And Priscilla looks amazing! She's looking slimmer each video and her make up is on point.

[@Autmazing]

Abbie looks amazing and ready for the start of the school year! And I loved seeing her smiles when she saw everyone at her school. It was such an amazing, ice cream worthy sort of day!

[@jacquicoder7160]

Personally, I prefer long hair like Priscilla but that haircut looks absolutely adorable on Abbie. It just fits her face and her personality. So cute!! The changes being made in her school curriculum are encouraging, too. The couch is wonderful, now if you could get the car situation resolved, everything would be great, right?

[@jacobstwins4]

[@kaelynb8016]

That hair dresser is amazing!! So patient and loving! Love it!!

[@evelyngermer9669]

Love the way you stick up for Abbie and her rights. You wouldn't let anyone say anything about her if she didn't have special needs, so why should anyone get to say anything because she is special.

[@michaelcampbell6696]

I agree about the negative comments. I think sometimes people don't know they're being negative. But the majority of time they do. My dad always taught me if what you're about to say is not helpful or positive then keep it inside your head. But clearly many people have not been taught that , especially in the last 20 or 30 years. I personally respect everything you guys do! My opinion is that you guys are an awesome family and love Abby tremendously and there's nothing you wouldn't do for her. That much is very clear! Hope you guys have a great day!

[@daniellegilman6437]

I have learned so much from your Channel, She is a kind, sweet, and amazing soul. Thank you so much for sharing her with us!!!!

[@mmills1188]

Such a nice haircut ! She pulls the short hair style off perfect ! Such a great day for Abbie ! I too just went from longer hair to shorter hair ! Tell Abbie she is now a member of the “ Short Hair Don’t Care “ club lol ! As a mom , it was osm to see Abbie so excited to be visiting her school !

[@jfjdjdji723]

I like how the school was quick to incorporate more of what ~you~ do at home, while discussing through what it is that you're pleased with that she's learning there. To make sure it's all meshing together.

Abbie's hair looks so cool. I love it . Short and long hair looks good on Abbie. If anyone doesn't like Abbie's hairstyle , just remember it doesn't make a difference to your life as her hairstyle is not on your head her hairstyle is on her head.
