Re: temperature sensitive, sitting in front of heater

[Guest guest]

My son likes to sit over the heating vent for the central heating when it is on.  Kathy J.On Tue, Nov 30, 2010 at 7:51 AM, <boogermeanie@...> wrote:

 

Hi,

My son ( 5 ) is very temperature sensitive.  Has issues if its too hot in the car, too cold also.  The past several days his desire is to sit for hours in front of a portable heater.  Anyone else experienced it?  I'm unsure if I should try to move him or leave him there  I guess it just seems odd when a ADHD and Asperger child just sits still.

My little girl practically sits on the heater (was heater) and loves the air blowing on

her - she is raw red sometimes from heat (not burnt) but doesn't move without a prompt

My son also sits on the floor vent were our heat comes out of. He also has a soft blanket wrapped around him at all times minus going to school. He likes to get dressed sitting on the heated vent, which I do most of the dressing and I have to tell you I don't know how they like the heat, I can't even breathe it's so hot...but he loves it. I thought he was the only doing this, happy to know he''s not.Tina Lynn Ledvina There's a silver lining behind every cloud

I think some kids with sensory issues have thermostat issues. My daughter, who

doesn't have autism but has sensory processing disorder, screams when she's too

hot and can't function when she's too cold and finding just the right temp is

very difficult. One thing that helps our mornings is if I stick a blanket or

towel in the dryer and warm it up so she can drape it over her while she eats.

My son usually doesn't notice temperatures so scares me to DEATH in the summer.

If I say we're going somewhere he wants to go he'll get in the car long before

we're ready. Here in New Hampshire it isn't as much of an issue but in Texas

when it was 104 degrees in the shade he would get in and not open any windows or

leave anything open. He can leave the door open or even open the hatch but

doesn't think of it.

There was one time at school they couldn't find him. This was here in NH and it

was only a few months after we moved here from Texas. It was below zero and

didn't wear enough clothing that day. He was hiding next to a radiator in

the library! It took us all a while to figure out how to deal with the cold.

We have a lot more cold weather clothing and are getting the hang of layers.

Prior to this most of 's school time was in Texas. sometimes says he

is too cold but most of the time he doesn't think to mention it.
