I know it's difficult, especially with autism, but having a greater control on your mind and body should do wonders in regards to panic and anxiety.not rude at all, thanks for your thoughts.
Personally, I think that because you think your body is going to warm up, you make it warm up. Then you panic and are unable to cool it down, as you are thinking "Oh no, I'm heating up," and panicking.
but i am not sure what you mean or how this is possible, i may have misunderstood you. when i talk about panic i mean in terms of clinical symptoms (ie evidence) of anxiety - i don't know it's happening until after/when it happens, because you can only tell by symptoms. not sure if i am making sense sorry.
i have tried for many years and believe you cannot reduce blood adrenalin to normal levels solely by thinking about it.
(edit: unless you mean cbt. if i could do cbt to myself i would not need to be booking this psychiatrist & psychologist for just the anxiety (let alone the AS!)! they're both so expensive!)
when i am talking about panic i am making random suggestions! sorry! i don't have expert knowledge on the theory of uncontrollable heat. another possibility: an autistic friend suggested maybe it's a funny internal thermostat, and that the anxiety is consistent with stress response.
