Discombubulated (Experiment)

pietro_21

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

    no symptoms is not an affect? If you don’t feel anything the helpful option would be for you to self better than normal. I will not be changing the poll for you Stuart unfortunately.

    I think you miss the point.

    In your experiment you should include no change so you can you can assess from all the responses what proportion are affected, and of these how many positively or negatively. You can then get greater participation and a better feel for how common it is.

    You can also run it multiple times and see if sometimes the proportion of people who are affected changes , e.g. when the low is in the summer or winter.

    You also said "all observation relevant".

    It is just a suggestion to enhance the poll for the future to give you better data, not a criticism.

    Otherwise what you are really asking is, if you have symptoms this time what were they.
