Overheated brain

NAS84467

Greeting from Australia :) I’m diagnosed with autism, and notice that sometimes at work for several days my brain gets overheated almost and I freeze up and get stressed and feel teary. It’s so weird, does any one else have experiences of their brain just “nope”-ing at work. Glad to join this forum :)

  • My head overheats a lot, whenever mental and physical activities happen together, about 5min after begining them. Possibly that is the reason why 95% of sweat my body excretes happen on my forehead, Profusly at those moments. Making me unable to wear glasses, they get covered with liquid and vapour in 5sec, and I can't wear lenses either, so I can forget about reading anything during those moments.

    To the point - as long as I can sweat I stay below critical overheat threshold. Without replenishing by drinking water I can last like that for 1.5h and then I start seeing black spots, and get feinty, and dizzy.

    To cool down I need to stop completely, not even pacing allowed for at least 30min.

    Have you tried putting something cold on your head?

    I wash my face with cold water now and then, but it's a result of physical exertion, e.g. I'm working, lifting heavy things.

    I make a joke sometimes that I could use one of those 'cooling helmets' dwarfs designed for trolls in Pratchett's Discworld Smiley

    In a supermarket you can't even wear a hat when you sit on a till next to open door wintertime

    so I don't think I could explain it to them, they would rather continue having fun at my expense, after all it's hilarious to see someone sweating so much it's dripping of his nose

    it's only hypothetical
