Temperature regulation

NAS79810

Hi everyone 

Anyone have any tips for 10 year old daughter with ASD who can’t recognise she’s too hot - collected her from school today being sick because it’s so hot today.

She was sitting in jogging bottoms and a jumper, approaching wearing less is difficult.

Anyone have any similar issues 

Thanks Blush

  • I'd add -to check what her clothes are made from. Polyesters are essentially the same as wearing plastic. They are really bad for human biology temperature regulation as they're made from a petroleum by-product. They'll block the skin from breathing and in a fire, will melt to the skin turning to plastic. 

    Natural fibres actually work with the skin to help regulate temperature. Cotton, linen and wool are the most breathable. Cotton helps the body stay cool in summer and wool is one of the best for regulating temperature, so long as it's not blended with synthetics. I have a wool/silk blend (all natural) which I can even wear in summer from Engel. This company is great for natural clothing https://www.cambridgebaby.co.uk/catalog/summer-child And some companies will have uniforms https://www.naturalcollection.com you should be able to do a search online for "natural fibre children's clothes"

    But also to note, tree fabrics like eucalyptus and bamboo can be naturally cooling. They might be too cold to wear in the evening, though.

    Yes, I agree with this and only wear wool and cotton myself.
