Can someone explain what was medically wrong with me when I was a teen.
It was 3 degrees celsius outside and I was fine just in shorts and tshirt. I felt too hot in normal clothes (being inside or during hotter months sucked but it's not like I could go naked). For freezing temps I just used a very thin anti-rain summer jacket, it stopped the wind and that was enough.
It started when I was about 13 and ended about 16. How is it even possible? Did I overproduce some hormone?

The school even thought I was too poor to get normal clothes and tried to give me some from some welfare program
As far as I can tell, no other weird things were going on with me.

Did you eat more then others or find it hard to gain weight?

I think I mostly kept the weight (being a bit fat initially) while I grew ~20cm up during that period, becoming thin at the end.
That's just normal growth though

Lots of autistic kids are like this.

well damn, I thought you're shitposting but it's true
>Children and adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders suffer from temperature regulation problems, sometimes as a part of overall sensory processing issues. They may exhibit hyper or hypo sensitivities to heat and cold. A manifestation of this is the child who does not feel cold in the winter, and continuously peels off his clothing or coat despite the cold weather.

LOL this explains all the spergs who would gloat about it "not being cold outside" when everyone else was layered up. It's real.

It's not just autists. Lots of mental disorders are associated with temperature regulation disruptions. Schizophrenia is well known for this.

I match other autism things like weird discrete early development, I guess I now can be 100% certain I have some form of autism.
Perhaps I should have written this in the first post, but I assumed it was irrelevant because it had to be some hormonal inbalance

Well you're here so...

Also maybe a thyroid issue?

Search for brown fat. Brown fat is made to produce heat and it is found in most of the animals living in cold climates. Inuits have more of them too.
Somehow you may have more brown fat than normal person.

Kek, true, I'm autistic and often I'm seeing people with big jackets when I'm in short, t-shirt. My whole family constantly harasses me asking me wether i'm cold.
