Awwwww! Barber Goes an extra Lengths To Make Boy With Autism Feel Comfortable During Haircut

According to HuffPost, James Williams, of Jim the Trim barber shop in Briton Ferry, Wales, posted photos on Facebook showing himself lying on the ground next to Mason, a boy who has autism, and cutting the tot's hair. According to the Facebook post, Mason's parents, Jamie Lewis and Denine Davies, have brought the child to Williams' shop before. Over the past few months, they've experienced no success with getting their son's hair cut.

"He wouldn't allow me to go near one of his ears," Williams explained in his Facebook post. "He would run away [at] times if he wasn't up to it."
He went further by saying ,'I went on the floor as I found that's where he always wanted to be. He played on his father's phone, watched random programs, and that entertained him," Williams, who also quieted the rest of the shop for the cut, told People.com. "So I thought, 'Let's join him and lay with him and see if it works.'"
Not only did his theory pay off, he got a sweet reward from Mason at the end. 
"I asked for a high-five, he hugged me," Williams wrote on Facebook
So lovely of him!
