Project: Overclocked Autism

I have a 24hr heart monitor tightly affixed to little patches on my chest. I wear a pouch that holds the device that is recording in detail what my heart is doing. Today I will be going outside, in the sun, the heat and all that comes with it.

The end goal is to help my doctors determine if my heart is to blame for my heat problems.


I will be sweating, and burning in horrible agony as I do everything I normally would avoid doing in the sun. I will be doing everything I can to over-exert myself and cause my heart rate to rise as well as my heat levels.

People used to joke about me melting away in the sun one day and leaving nothing left but a fedora and a military grade cooling suit. No longer will they make these jokes. I am going out without my cooling suit on purpose. I will face the tyranny of the sun head on.

Wish me luck. The experiment starts soon.

"Head on"? More like "hat on", amirite?

I think this time I won't wear my fedora because I don't want to get it all dirty and sweaty.

Ahh you got the lame one... You got to get the one that just glues to your chest for two weeks... Can take it in the shower and everything.

Also wtf is a cooling suit? What is your over heating issue (You actually have a continuous higher internal temp?) or are you just a sweaty type person?

If exposed to heat I get dizzy, disoriented and sometimes faint. Despite proper hydration and working sweat glands.
So I normally wear a cooling suit in the summer.

sorry, rude post.
I shouldn't joke about these things.


But that is an insane condition, I've never heard of that.

Wat™

apparently neither have any of my doctors.

The only thing that comes to mind is the typical sensitivity to heat that most people on the autism spectrum have. However this obviously goes beyond sensitivity.

Well I am hyper sensitive to cold...if that might possibly be related. If it gets <70 I am freezing, <65 I begin shaking very badly, I only got below that once and it wasn't good.

Wat™

Good luck with the testing.

On a completely unrelated note, I'm stealing the term "Overclocked Autism"

Go right ahead.

Just be sure to use it in the correct context. Example Below

Fedora? Check!
Virginity? Check!
Dextromphetamine? Check!

AUTISM OVERCLOCKING ENGAGED


Interesting enough it gets worse when I am without stimulants which is something only explainable by the fact that stimulants help regulate my mood.



What if Intel built CPUs that were "Autism Inside". Hyper efficient number crunching, probability calculating cores with a grandiose sense of self awareness and a deep desire to download images of fedoras to whatever storage medium they were tied too. What if... The cooling system for the CPU WAS A FEDORA!

OH GOD!

is it just me or is it hot in here again?

This "Autism Powered" processor might have trouble multitasking... Blink

technically no processor right now can multitask. It can give the appearance of doing multiple things at once. If it has many cores then each core can do something different at the same time I think. But no single core can do more than 1 task as any given time.

This isn't an insult, but perhaps it's psychosomatic reaction to heat? Meaning you work yourself up, and symptoms then occur due to it?

Furthermore does it occur in other hot areas such as saunas greenhouses etc? I knew a guy once who just wasn't use to it, and then would constantly ***** and moan, and over react to the heat. He went overboard.

Now the guy lives in Phoenix. There is a bit of an adjustment period...Sometimes you gotta torture yourself through it. Not saying it's your issue, but I do know a few heat/cold wusses out there like the slug above.

It's called a Holter monitor, named for the inventor. I had to wear one a few years back after developing a persistent irregular heartbeat.

You probably got a log book with the monitor where you record all your daily activities. They will even want to know when you have a bowel movement. The sticky electrodes are a bit uncomfortable as is having wires dangling inside your shirt. On the other hand you can have fun with it and tell people it's a bomb. Twisted

Oh... and enjoy your chest shave!

Yeeee!

Maybe you got infected by a variant of vampirism (not the sparkly type) and turn to ash once fully exposed to the sun.Twisted
