Autism

I try to not step outside as much at physically possible.

This is a bad idea and not healthy.

By not going out, wearing less and less clothes until police comes and sunglasses.

Honestly, maybe I'm weird, but I love the sun and feeling a little hot. Could be because my body is otherwise usually very bad keeping warm.

I do hate most sun screen, but I can live with the stuff that doesn't irritate my skin. Blackout curtains are always a necessity for me, but I do live in the city, so that's not a major difference. I always dehydrate easily, regardless of temperature, so I always need extra salt and water, so not that different.

But as a bonus the air is more moist (especially without the heater) so my throat is more comfortable. And I prefer fresh air over recycled air, so it's a bonus when I can open the windows.

The biggest bonus though is shorts, short sleeves, no socks, and open shoes, and I'm still warm enough. I dislike the feeling of most clothing, especially on my feet, but really I'd love to be naked all of the time if my body warmed itself properly.

I got a straw/paper trilby and its been a game changer. The hat, some loose linen clothes and sandals have made me much more heat tolerant than ive ever been

What I'd like to do.

I stay hydrated and stay covered!

No offense all defense. In the subtropics so the sun is very direct. Mineral sunblock always. Hat or umbrella when walking. Light linen jacket to cover my arms. I don't usually use sunglasses but my regular glasses have UV protection.

ADHD here, not autistic. Hope you don't mind my input. I work as an Arborist climbing trees, and I try my best not to let the sun touch me at all when I'm at work. I wear long sleeves outdoor shirts. I think the ones I have now were made for fishing. They are spf rated, and handle my sweat well. Dry quick, etc. Hat and gloves also. For the end of day I keep a dry tshirt to change into so I'm not sitting in a soggy shirt. I've worked outside full-time for 8 years and I had critically low vitamin d. But it makes being outside in the heat bearable and keeps my skin safe from sun damage.

Clothing:

• Head: Have a panama straw hat in a fedora style (only wear that when my clothing style fits)
• House A: Jinbei (It's a japanese lounge set made to be very breathable. Has also cutouts under the armpits to be even more airy)
• House B: Shorts and t-shirt
• Outside A: T-shirt + jeans shorts
• Outside B (at work): T-shirt + long trousers (usally jeans)

Cooling:

• Foldable fan (japanese style)
• Electric usb fan + usb-power adapter or usb powerbank

Survive at home:

• Day: Close the blinds while the sun is out
• Night: Open everything you can and pray the house cools down fast enough

Edit:
We don't have that many mosquitos so that is bearable. But I also have blinds on my window to sleep with it open during the night.
During the day they are gone.

Sun glasses, hats, I really only need to protect my eyes. Summer in the PNW is glorious

I do many of the things you listed and I also treat it being too hot as inclement weather. By that I mean I plan outdoor activities for the cooler parts of the day and come inside if it's getting too warm. I don't plan activities where there is no shade. I've made the mistake of going to the beach and spending the next day feeling really sick from all the UV.

ETA: sorry if this is super obvious, but it wasn't to me: some places are just more pleasant in the summer than others. My backyard fucking sucks most of the time, except this little screened in hut I have because I live in a swamp. Lots and lots of mosquitos. But if I drive half an hour away I can walk along a river with lots of wind and no bugs (but also little shade so I need to plan ahead.)

I also carry an insulated water bottle with me, one that had a straw but also seals completely. I don't care that I look like a trend following white woman, I need to have water with me in case I am able to force myself to drink (I also struggle with that lol?)
