Some days autism is seeing your friend has a new haircut and being disproportionately upset because they don't look the same.

@spika @actuallyautistic Apparently when I was about a year old my dad caved to family pressure and shaved his beard. I screamed if he held me until it grew back in. That was the last time he ever shaved it (though his father tried to get me and my sister to encourage him to shave it right up until my grandfather's death).

@greenmountaingirl @spika @actuallyautistic Similarly, I was freaked out when my father shaved his head when I was about 5 or so. It was NOT RIGHT. Uncanny feeling.

Friend: Do you like my new haircut?
Me: Give me some time. I’m still processing.

Or walking past them in the street, because you didn't recognise them because of it.
