@chevalier26 @actuallyautistic 70 as a /heat-index/ is as warm as /most/ people can comfortably be at night. that makes it easier to handle heat during the day.

I hope you have a chance to cool off, and that you're able to lay out a future that holds that as a priority.

@janisf @actuallyautistic It’s easier for me to cope with it at home, because we have AC and I can blast my ceiling fan and other fans to control the temperature in my bedroom.

70° is usually the threshold temp for me before I start to get too hot, and I think it’s interesting that it’s also the general cutoff temp for sleeping comfortably. I am very interested in studies on heat tolerance in general, and what other people consider “comfortable” compared to autistics.

@chevalier26 @actuallyautistic I'm autistic, and I tend to perceive things as cooler than most. From hot flashes to old ladies cranking their heat to 90°, I'm not sure you can take a whole slice, like NT vs. ND, & nail anything down in regard to heat perception. The way I see it, our (Autist's) LED's are brighter, telling in the dark.

In the mean time, I put 70% hand-sanitizer ethyl alcohol in a spray/mist bottle and peg my ankles with it above 84-5°. That fast evaporation does wonders.

@chevalier26 @actuallyautistic You are not making a mountain out of a molehill. Your scale is more fine-tuned. It's your mountain.

Honestly, I think it's going to be just a little more up to us "sensitive" ND's to figure out the nuances of human adaptation climate change. Stay out in front :)
