A few years ago, LaQuista Erinna’s son, Jackson, was diagnosed with autism (自闭症). Erinna had always noticed Jackson was _________ to everyday things. But the most difficult thing was getting a(n) _________. “Usually I have to do some coaching to get him in the chair and he will put on his headphones.” Erinna explained. The stress was so _________ for her, so she decided to stop taking him to the barber.
“We went almost two years with no haircuts. People would always comment on how _________ his hair was,” Erinna remembered. “It was really _________ for me. I was trying to protect my baby, but I just had to develop some tough skin.”
Ultimately, Erinna found a _________ named Ree and things seemed to be possible. Ree has been able to do things _________.
However, things went _________ at the beginning one day. “We got caught in traffic. He left his headphones. We hadn’t had lunch. It was just like a series of _________ events,” Erinna said.
Jackson __________ to get in the barber’s chair. He started running around the shop. Erinna was about to __________ and call it a day, but Ree encouraged her to __________. Then Ree noticed Jackson’s Super Mario Bro shirt and told him that he needed to save Mario by making sure no hair got on Mario.
At last, Ree managed to get Jackson to sit down. She talked to him throughout the entire process and turned the haircut into a __________, encouraging him to protect Mario to keep him engaged.
“It just __________ me so much,” Erinna said. “When the haircut was complete, Jackson was like, ‘Well, can we go back tomorrow and play again?’”
It __________ a lot to Erinna that Ree took the time to figure out a way to give Jackson a haircut that day. She shared a video online, which has gotten millions of views.
