Discombubulated (Experiment)

Hi All,


Homebird mentioned the weather in her recent thread. This post is to do with low pressure. Which is very (although not unseasonably) low at the moment.


I experience quite extreme feelings and moods (sometimes body pain) on days when the air pressure drops though late autumn and winter. The last week has been really hard. I know a lot of people experience migraines. I just wondered whether anyone else felt discombobulated when the weather is like this.


I’d like anyone the the uk with ASD to conduct a short experiment on themself if you are in the UK from this evening 6pm until this Thursday eve if you can please tell me how you feel as there is a big low pressure drop happening. The pressure is going to be dropping heavilly from 1000bar on Sunday evening to 975 bar (very low) on Thursday night. Some people may be seriously affected by this drop. Please record and changes during this time. 


I'm interested to know if other autistic people become extra sensitive, or irritable, or tired, hungry, or depressed? All observations relevant.

Thank you

  • Yes it was low all week until yesterday morning then it rose gradually until today. I have a sad box but that doesn’t seem to do so much when it’s like this. I’m seeing a lot of pressure correlations with those days I felt down or slept badly. For me I feel like my head is in a vice and I can’t concentrate at all.
