Temperature Sensitivity

RockChick

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?

  • I'm horribly sensitive to temperature in both directions- too cold and I feel like it's sinking into my bones never to escape, too hot and I'm permanently furious until it eases off. I think it probably is autism-related, at least for some of us; I tend to be on the hypersensitive end of sensory issues more generally so having the same problem with more extreme temperatures would make sense.
