Theres this OCD thing I have where I have an obsession with my hair, it HAS to look a certain way and I'm constantly readoing it. And I get into this mindspace every couple months and decide to cut my hair but I'm just going at it like really cutting it like theres no tomorrow I even accidentally cut my finger with the scissors. I even remind myself that every time I cut my hair I cut it too short for my liking or just completely mess up my hair. But I forget that in a moment of dissociation and start cutting my hair. I literally can't stop I've done it 4 times in the past year and one time I couldn't stand the way it looked so much that I bought a hat and wore it for like 4 months straight every day and even sleeping in it.

I fix my hair constantly, but I’m not sure if it’s an autism stimming thing because I play with it too. A lot of times I worry about my bangs being just right and have to move them to the right spot on my face every few minutes.

Hey I have autism too :)

I also hate getting haircuts because it’s never just right. It’s either too short or too long. I found a super good stylist at a salon that did it nice/the closest to what I wanted. , ever since that one I haven’t found another as good as she was.

@stellar.oddity How old are you? I was diagnosed last year at 25. Still learning how it makes me unique

@Anonymous Brad I'm 21 and was diagnosed at 18 along with OCD I spent 7 years in and out of hospitals, my longest stay being 8 months and they were misdiagnosing me, putting me on the wrong medications making me worse.
