“Any client that sits in my chair is a celebrity.” This woman has a beautiful soul and really is pursuing her passion

She’s going to be his barber for life. For him to be six years old his drawings are amazing.

I love seeing when people are willing to go the extra mile for others, especially for children. It truly does take a village.

As a kid on the spectrum I can really appreciate what she’s doing for him.

As a mother of a child on the spectrum I can’t even put into words how absolutely beautiful this moment is doing some thing as simple as getting a haircut can be sensory overload and very overwhelming and sometimes scary the fact that she blatantly went out of her way to make him as comfortable as possible really shows how much of herself she puts in to her work this isn’t just a job her Thank you

This barber is not only a genius but a remarkable human! I worked with Austic children of all ages for 15 yrs. This Barber has a gift simple as that.

The barber deserves a trophy for her actions and a million dollars for her actions we need more people like her

As a barber for over 20 yrs who absolutely loves children this almost made Me tear up.. cheers to this young woman the mother and the awesome little man

This Barber is so DOPE. She did a wonderful thing for a child, she displayed great patience’s and made his experience fun. There needs to more people like her. GOD BLESS them all.

Can we acknowledge what a amazing artist little dude is at the age of 6? His Yakko, Wakko and Dot was very good for a 6 year old.

I have an older brother with Asperger’s and two twin sisters with classical autism, the youngest of which is incredibly severe, mostly nonverbal and dual-diagnosed with debilitating mood disorders. My family has also faced a lot of misconceptions, judgements and stereotypes about autism, and we’ve had very similar experiences to the one this mama detailed over the years, especially in public settings like the grocery store and as my sister has gotten older (18 in a month) to the point that I have debilitating anxiety whenever we enter a store together. No, I am not ashamed of my sister; I am scared of the world around her and how they treat her. I’ve found that there are a lot of these people who can’t distinguish autism meltdowns from tantrums, and who think even the latter in children with and without autism are the result of inadequate punishment. A lot of people think that autism can be punished out of a child, or that the child only has autism because of bad parenting, or that they just need to be thrown away and we can’t keep her - and we’ve taken this even from family members. I’ve heard people say all manner of things towards my sister and our family over the years. It’s also uncomfortable constantly being stared at, or in some cases, glared at, and having 911 and CPS called on us for my sister displaying traits of autism they’re uncomfortable with. Grown woman who’ve whined “my eeaaarsss,” and complained about the throat noises my sister makes when she’s happy, people who’ve call her “a rat,” as we left a pet shelter when we were younger to adopt a pet, an older man who told my sister to get away from him when she stood a foot or two away from him, etc, etc. Autism is still incredibly stigmatized and misunderstood. EDIT: Thank you to everyone who took the time to read this; I really appreciate it and it gives me hope :)

I'm so proud of this woman. People can be so intolerant and ignorant when it comes to Autism , behavioral disorders, or mood disorders. What a beautiful soul💖 The world needs more people like her.

Are we not gonna talk about how talented this kid is? He’s gonna go far with his skills! Wish all the best 💕

Girl God bless you. My son is nonverbal autistic and getting a haircut is a horrible experience. I wish I could find someone like you 🤩

HOLY GUACAMOLE THAT DRAWING IS AMAZING- ESPECIALLY FOR HIS AGE. He is soaring. Bless that woman and her help. And praise that mom.

I have two nephews on the spectrum. Their cases aren’t as bad as this, but they both love to draw and have for years. They’re really good, too. Autism isn’t a weakness. These kids are brilliant.

I like when people have the patience and don’t just tell people with autism to “get over it”

I hope this lady gets so much business that she can hardly handle it!! She’s amazing!

This barber is a real professional and empathetic individual.

As an #autismmom I am touched by this barber. My son is 19 now but it was hard getting his hair cut or trying on clothes, etc. But, this makes my heart so full!! 💙❣️

Kudos to this barber!! Hey Jackson … my son is on the spectrum, is now a 25, and will soon be history teacher. You rock mom!!

I can’t explain just how proud I feel just watching this unusual interaction. I hope that she continues to kelp with her out of the box thinking. Much love to the family and the barber!!

This barber is a genius. She allows her heart to direct her hands, and the result is amazing. God will bless her for her kindness as she is a blessing to others, and her business will prosper.

We need more mamas like this, and more barbers like this. Hell, we just need more people like this in the world! So much love and light sent to all! ♥

That barber is nothing short of amazing! She’s terrific, but that mother to that child is also a Wonderful individual! That little boy is so lucky to be surrounded but great people!

As a mom who has a son on the spectrum and he has issues getting a haircut, I’m so touched by this barber. The way she went out of her way to accommodate and dignify him. It means so much to special needs parents. We need more barbers like that! 🦋

IT REALLY TAKES A SPECIAL PERSON TO WORK WITH KIDS

God blessed her!!!!!!😍 My son has autism and I will wish we all found more people like her, with an open mind and an open heart ❤️!!!!

This made me emotional. We need more humans in the world like this barber. Her willingness to go the extra mile and think of such a creative solution is inspiring.

This Barber exemplifies what it means "To meet a person where they're at in their moment." Her creativity and solution oriented approach empowered this young man to look his absolute best! Great work!

I freaking love her she’s a pure genuine soul and I know God favors her

You got me crying here! My son has autism so i understand the struggles, i love my son and the issues we deal with judgemental people arent fair. Special needs kids touch my heart deeply since ive had my son. Thanks for making his haircut happen with understanding! You have no idea how deep your understanding impacted that family!

“Any client that sits in my chair is a celebrity” a beautiful, peaceful world all summed up in one sentence 🙏

Much respect for the strength parents of autistic children have to have not to mention loads of patience and love!

This story was a breath of fresh air!!! I can DEFINITELY relate to her story about going to the store. Ppl too quickly assume and jump to conclusions when they have NO IDEA what's going on!! God bless this barber, mom and son. 💛

This barber is amazing!! Keep shining your light, we need more people like you in the world! I have a brother & son with autism & I truly appreciate your thoughtfulness!!

Nice work. Not all children need orders, they need cooperation.

You are a super woman to know what this young man needed to get through his haircut event!!! Hats off to you!!!

One of the best story ever. Mother LaQuista, Child Jackson, and The Amazing Barber are my Surperstars, Spread the Love

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! Having a son on the spectrum is super hard and a haircut can be so stressful. I loved seeing this. Good job to Jackson for being so brave, the hair dresser and the momma.

That kid is absolutely adorable and his drawing was really good! The barber?? fantastic. Such a kind and caring individual. Best of luck to the barber, Jackson, and both of their families!

Barbers are so important in the community. My son's barbers had a great influence on him becoming the man he is as it takes a village along with the parents to raise children. Barbers rock!!

He's a good drawer and has much potential. Good going mom. You're a good mom....and the barber deserves props. 👍

What a beautiful smile on this little guy! The barber is so creative, kind, loving, empathetic and just awesome. Can’t we all stop judging each other? It’s just exhausting.

This barber took the time to accommodate this child in a creative manner so that everyone was comfortable. Hats off to her! God bless this child and his mother ❤️

We need more of this kindness & patience as human beings. This should be the standard, not division, hate & indifference. More stories like this, please.✌️🏽

What a truly beautiful thing this barber did for this young man! I wish everyone was as kind as she is.

This wonderful barber thinks outside the box, and that’s how she got it done. It’s love for her clients and love for her job we see💘

Makes me happy. My son has autism as well. Just found out and he’s 3. May God bless all the children on the Spectrum❤️‍🩹

With a daughter with life long issues on the spectrum, she's 24 now, this makes my heart so full! Beautiful! ❤️

The barber is Awesome ... Truly special....

You are a special kind of person when you’re able to work with people who have special disabilities. When your patient and able to relate to their issuesissues it’s a blessing. Continue doing what you do and be blessed. 🙏🏾

What a clever way to cut his hair! She made it a fun game for him and showed understanding and compassion.

This made me cry…. I teach kids with autism an I just pulled up to work this story definitely made my day! I’m going in here an I can’t wait to give all my kids the biggest hug I can give… thank you for this I can’t wait to share with the other teachers..Go ABS!!!!!!!

We need more humans like this. To the barber I say - please continue being the caring person you are and never give up. It gives and inspires hope for a better tomorrow.

This brought happy tears for sure! My son is 5 years old and is autistic and to see her going above and beyond just to make him comfortable. She is an Angel! I pray she has a wonderful blessed life!

When the barber said that we all need to be treated equally , I was crying.Bless her !

My son is on the spectrum as well and haircuts have always been an issue. He's very particular about how it's cut and will only wear a high and tight, but it has to look a certain way. My mom finally took him to her hair dresser with a picture of exactly what he wanted. She was amazing with him and talked with him about his favorite movies the whole time to distract him from the buzzing noise of the clippers which makes him anxious. They have the same conversations every time he goes but she always makes sure that he is happy and content while he's in her chair.

This hair dresser is genius! Beautiful sweet boy. Wonderful mother. God bless

As someone that happens to be autistic, my hopes are restored when I see people treating us like human beings. Cause that's the point, we are not even seen as human beings by most people, so something so basic has to be celebrated. I'm happy he found someone that cares enough to make him comfortable and happy while she does her job, avoiding a possible meltdown (which can be very stressful and exhaustive for us).

Moments like this really give us parents hope my son is 7 with autism non-verbal and had epilepsy and extreme tantrums our days are long most nights we are up through the night with our autistic child trying to calm them so when you see someone out with there special needs child try to be nice I promise we will never forget your kindnesses

Anyone who can handle children on the spectrum has the patience and heart of a saint. They have all my respect. ❤️

He is just priceless and happy goddess him. The stylist is great with children, you don’t find them very often. Her creativity is off the charts.

This hair dresser is a true hero. She had the Mum's corner when she needed it. She has her black capes, she just needs the title. SUPER HERO!

Such positivity. Momma bear is spot on. I am a parent w a now young adult on spectrum. It’s so difficult and people often says well he doesn’t look like he has Autism. 🙄.

This lady is pure genius 👏 , she went above and beyond to make this little boy feel more comfortable 💙💕✨❤💖♥ . Great job Jackson , you did good being calm . 👌

absolutely perfect. what a role model she is for us all.

He draws so well!!! I’m an autism mom also. My son is 4 years old. I had many misconceptions myself about autism until my son was diagnosed last year.

I can definitely relate to having a child on the Autism spectrum. They are in a world of their own, and shouldn't be judged because of it💯 They need LOVE the same as anyone else💯👍🏽

God bless this lovely barber as well as this amazing boy and his beautiful mommy.

That is so amazing and thoughtful! I have a kid with autism and I can't begin to tell you how many times we got dirty looks when he was acting out due to his inability to handle his surroundings. Kids with autism need support, care, kindness, and help! They need those around them to understand their condition, and work with them instead of against them. I applaud this person for taking the time and effort to help this little boy! I had a hair stylist one-time cut my autistic child's hair and he wasn't wanting to sit still and he was crying, and the hairdresser had this look on her face the entire time that she was being burdened and was annoyed by him instead of working with him and caring. She also said something inappropriate. So a BIG thank you to this hair dresser in the video!!!♥️♥️♥️♥️

What a beautiful barber! Their level of empathy is something we all need to strive for.

The barber is a gifted woman and Jackson is such a gifted handsome boy!

We need more positive news like this. You get so tired and overwhelming about all the negative we see on the news. God bless that sweet boy and the Barber.

God bless this barber and her quick thinking.❤

People cannot understand what they do not know. We have to keep educating, keep sharing amazing stories like these, and support Autism Awareness.

This barber is a remarkable human being. Should have her business tripled for sure. Keep rocking it out! Simply amazing! Blessings to all of you!!

❤ this was Ausome to watch. My son is ASD and this made me feel better about getting his hair cut. I would love to find a barber like this woman. She truly loves our babies just as much as we do.

Videos like this always put tears in my eyes 🥺 my son is also on the spectrum and I’ve been contemplating cutting his hair for his birthday in a couple days. Watching this was so heartwarming. I can only hope to find such a great barber for my kiddo 🤞🏽🤍

As a parent with a child on the spectrum. I truly cannot even begin to express how much this touches my heart. I fight for my daughter to be treated as a human with family and strangers. It hurts deeply when it comes from family, but this video was so amazing! I pray that God bless her business, the mom, and handsome little fella beyond measure. 💕

My son has Sensory Processing Disorder. Hair cuts are so difficult with him, but we found someone that is amazing with him. This man is amazing. And I'm glad there are people out there like him to make our beautiful children's lives a little bit easier ❤

This beautician is an angel genious❤️

Barbers with great hearts for those with special needs. Thank you and God bless you.

As a mum of autistic twins… both of which won’t have their har cut…. You are simply amazing. I wish u lived in the uk ❤️ much love xxx

The world needs more people like this woman! Blessings to you!

Wow did y'all see that sharp cut man she is outstanding Lil Jackson probably can't wait to go get his hair cut - I can imagine how good it made the mom's heart feel just knowing someone besides her cares about her baby's well being.

She is an awesome barber and individual. She was so thoughtful and creative.

Keep up the good work Mama Bear. Hats off to the hairdresser, may God bless you all.

She is the living embodiment of "Reach out and touch". All it takes us time,being non judgemental and good thinks happen. You're an amazing human being. Thank you. Mom keep advocating for your son. Be his voice until he finds his. Well done.

Beautiful. Brought tears in my eyes! My godson is on the spectrum and so proud of him. He went to college, got his license, job, owns his own car and coaching football little league. Anything is possible. God bless Jackson❤️😍

She came up with an amazing way of connecting. Dang good lady right there. ❤️

“We all deserve to be treated equally” Yes, ma’am! Say it louder for the people in the back. 👏🏼 She’s wonderful and truly enjoys her job, I hope other wonderful people come and support her business.

As a parent with a child with Autism. That really touched my heart that barber is truly a awesome person she was so patient. Mom I been through so much with rude people as well . It’s not easy but you have to ignore people who just don know or understand. What we as parents go through. But our babies are a Blessing!!!!!

He's a cute little man! God bless that woman and grant her much success and joy in life

I need a friend like this barber. She’s good people.

People who have a disability often have to go through things in a different way than most in order to get something done, and, unfortunately, a lot of people don’t get that and judge. But this woman here got it! She understood he had different needs and was willing with kindness, affection, and creativity to accommodate him and give him what he needed.

He is adorable, his Mom is strong, and his hairdresser has a heart of gold.

Mum, you're an angel, and little Jackson is a great little lad!! As a dad with a son and granddaughter on the spectrum people who have never encountered this before just don't understand! I never thought my daughter would cope looking after her daughter, but it brings out the strength of the parents to care for their children whatever the situation! Much love to you all!

I know exactly what you go through. My son is also autistic. He is 31 yrs old now and is just as loving as he was as a boy. He loves music also and he also had earphones to help him also at times. You are a strong woman and so is the barber!! I really appreciated her for how she handled the situation. I absolutely loved this video. Before you even started talking about your son, who is the cutest thing, I already knew what was going on. God knew what he was doing when he gave us our extraordinary kids. Peace.

He draws and colors well. ☺️
