Cool air, HOT BODY, sensory thing

Post Reply New Topic

Does anyone else have a sensory need for their body to be very hot, like wearing winter jacket or wetsuit shirt (Neoprene) or rubberized nylon jacket on a summer day while its 70 outside but have the air be cool to warm. i hate hot air but love having my body overheated. anyone else like me?

When in doubt, ask an autistic. Chances are, they're obsessed with what you need to know.

Autism Speaks will NEVER speak for me

CLASSIC AUTISM

I was like that when I was in my late teens/early 20's. I would wear my coat because I had been outside, and never take it off even after I was indoors. I guess it seems weird, looking back on it. I liked the comfort of the clothing more than I needed the warmth. It might have been a body language issue, too.

These days I usually wear less clothing than other people do in the same setting because my metabolism has gone way up since I started exercising heavily. I still have a poor sense of what others see, but on an intellectual level I have better self image and I am not hiding behind a coat anymore. Now I get uncomfortable if I get too warm, and cold doesn't bother me as much.

I wanted to wear shorts on the last day of going with a friend to a set of interviews. I didn't want to get too warm because I didn't want to get all sweaty and look bad. She said, "put on some pants", so I did, in accordance with cultural norms for interviews. OK, put on some pants you say. I don't want to go outside without pants! People would think I'm weird if I did that!

yep! anything u usually say strapples usually the same case with me hehehe especially sensory related
