Me out in the sun on July 12th, hot sweaty day!
Today I went outside with dad while he did his yardwork and finally got the video on intense outdoor heat stimulation done for my big A Series On Stimming video series. The heat helps me relax majorly. I feel like a different person when I am in intense heat. My muscles are much more fluid and movable, and they even seem a bit stronger, like if you handed me a bag containing 10 lbs. of documents right now I bet I could hold it, maybe not lift it up into the air. But if it were a cold winter day I would be lucky if I can hold a 2.5 lb. bag of documents. My back and neck pain seek quite a bit of relief from intense heat. My mind too, as heat affects my Autism and is considered one of my self stimulation things. Throughout the time my heart rate was about 100 which is well below my normal resting rate of 120ish. I was outside for at least 2 hours today and came in with everything under my harness soaked in sweat, my back soaked, and whatever was under my seatbelt soaked. I wear quick drying clothes for a good reason apparently!
