Oh Yeah, He Cut His Hair

So I shared the post about being a senior with autism, and I got a ton of supportive comments. But I also got comments about Tommy's hair.

This is because it looks like this now:

And before, it looked like this:

I even did a blog post on why he insisted on long hair. Honestly, I didn't think he'd ever cut it and I was cool with it. I mean, it's his hair. But I did have to remind him to keep it brushed properly and he admitted that sometimes he got tired of the tangles. So he decided he'd get it cut. But he still wanted it on the longer side.


Actually, he showed the hair stylist a picture of Jim from The Office and said he wanted his hair cut like that. Season 1 Jim, I think.

The stylist asked if Tommy wanted to keep his long hair and he went "yes" at the same time I said "no."

We got the hair.

And here's Tommy doing a Jim "can you believe what I have to put up with?" Halpert from The Office look.

With his new hair!


He says it's much easier to brush through, but he also admits he misses the longer hair. I think it's because he would tug on it when he got nervous. As many of you know, he has autism, so he has certain tics to calm himself down. One of those was tugging on the long hair.

However, for now he says he'll keep this hair and in a few months he'll let me know if he wants it cut.

I guess we'll see how it'll be. I'm just along for the ride.
