Overheated brain

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.

  • I'm sorry you experience this. I get this at times as well. I've been working in the Nursery and it's happened to me, I have to sit down at times and 'cool down', wait for everything to settle.

    Hope you're ok xx

  • Working in a nursery can definitely be a bit overwhelming. Hope you've found things that help you through your day.
