Temperature Sensitivity

Is anyone else super sensitive to temperatures, in particular the cold? Even though today is a mild day I'm in a jumper and sitting in front of the fan heater shivering and painfully cold (not ideal with the prices of gas and electric) and just can't warm up. Could this be autism related or something else entirely? 

Sorry - only newly diagnosed so still so still learning what is and isn't related?

  • Definitely could be autism related. I'm really sensitive to the cold too, however i prefer it to the heat. I really hate summer. At least when you are cold you can put on extra clothes and go somewhere warm. When I'm too hot I really struggle to cool down.

    No need to apologise. We are always happy to chat about stuff like this.

    P.S. I am aware that I was no help but at least you aren't on your own with feeling super sensitive to different temperatures. Hopefully someone a little more helpful replies soonJoy

  • So glad I'm not alone! I'm the opposite as I love warm weather (apart from last summer which was Hell) because I hate layering and would live in vests and t-shirts if it was acceptable to do so as I hate wearing things below the elbow and I hate wearing socks but have to if I want to be warm. My partner wears socks to bed and it blows my mind.
