Cold Intolerance?

Post Reply New Topic

Um, hello.

I've heard a lot of stories about people on the spectrum being overly sensitive to heat and being able to withstand the cold, but does anyone else have a problem with being over sensitive to cold?

I can't stand being cold and members of my family quite often come home and have to open all the windows because it's too hot for them to be in the room with me, when to me the temperature seems perfectly comfortable. I'm seeking a diagnosis very soon I'd like to know if it's something I should bring up?

i hope you find your answer there.

I'm intolerant to both. The temperature has to be just right or I can't bear it.

I have the opposite problem. While I have no problems being in temperatures as low as 0ºF(factoring in windchill), any time the thermometer goes above 80ºF or so, I'm absolutely miserable. I sweat uncontrollably, and I don't want to leave the house. I live in Las Vegas, so life is not fun right now. And won't be for several months. Feels hot, man.

I can adjust to either hot or cold, but I really, really don't like cold a/c in the summertime.

I do own a lot of thermal underwear, though, so I have help adjusting to the cold.

Hi

I am really intolerant to the cold, I struggle washing my hands in cold water, showering in cold weather and going swimming. My bones feel like they hurt and hurt myself shivering.

However, between about 22 and 30c, I can run around while everybody else is forced to sit by an air con.

Aren't our bodies strange!

For me, I need everything cold. I think it's because I live in a place that's generally cold most of the time. I have to wash my hands in cold water, and I need to let hot foods cool before I eat them. I'm more like heat intolerant.

I can't stand temperatures below 0C and I don't like them below 10C. I sleep with a heavy blanket even in the summer, partly because I like the weight on me and partly because I still get cold in the summer.

Nope. It's heat I can't take. I can never get too cold and can even go outside in the middle of winter without a jacket and still don't get cold.

I can't take the temp over 80 F when awake then when I am going to sleep I need it colder under 70 F

I can't stand the cold - which I define as anything under about 50 F in winter and 70 F in summer. I like the 80s. I can tolerate higher temps pretty well, even into the low 100s as long as there's enough water. If I'm in anything approximately 70-73F or cooler without a jacket for very long my fingers will start turning purple.

Then again, I live in a warm area and it usually doesn't stay below 32F for very long, even in winter.

The cold is brutal for me. I carry around a hoodie in the summer.

im with team im alway cold and wear a lot of clothes almost all the time lol. its not a aspie thing though in my case its genetic my dads the same way.
and oddly enough i too live in las vegas though i love it here so ins nice to know that there are people from my neck of the woods...err dunes on the site

I'm intolerant to both heat and cold. I have issues with circulation in my hands and feet that mean that my hands sometimes go numb in the summer, and really have issues in the cold.
