DAE struggle with summer?

There is literally only one season of the year where I get to be comfortable: Fall. Winter is too cold. Summer is too hot. I have allergies in the Spring. Fall is just right.
- I am with you 100%. Early-to-mid spring also does it to me as well when the days and nights are just right.

The worst! Every year I just can't wait for autumn, so I can peel myself off the cool floor and resume existing

I’m actually the other way around, love summer hate winter, I get summer has some discomfort issues but I cannot stand being cold and layering clothes is a sensory nightmare. Plus the longer nights and shorter days fuck with my already erratic sleep schedule, but I have ADHD and autism and grew up in the American south so maybe I’m the outlier
- Grew up far north of the Mason Dixon and moved to a warmer climate; you’re not alone. You wrote out my thoughts exactly.
  I curse every cold minute until I can wear shorts again because pants and skirts are awful and I hate long sleeves and socks and just all of it. That and the dark make seasonal depression go haywire even with the “shorter” winters.
  Some days I dream of moving to western Ecuador where it’s ~87°F year-round.

Odd, I love summer and the heat. Though I fucking hate sweat lol
- Same! I could be having a spiritual experience basking in the warmth of the sun like some primordial Buddha lizard. But the moment I start to sweat it's all "I hate this piece of shit day and I'm going home right NOW". Then my soul battery loses all it's charge until I have a shower.

Yes and everyone is like OH MY GOD I HAVE THE BEST HIKE/BIKE RIDE/CAMPING/BEACH IDEA YOU HAVE EVER HEARD OF AND YOU NEED TO STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND COME WITH ME NOOOOOOW and act like you are broken if you aren't in the right mood for it. I may very well like these things but need to build up to it.

it's awful, everything feels wrong. some weeks i shower like 4 times a day just to reset how my skin feels. worst part for me is, gardening has been one of the few activities that keeps my depression in check.

Summer + autism + SNRI for fibro. I’m at risk of drowning in sweat, please send help.

I've been actively working on trying to appreciate it over the last few years and there are things I can appreciate. I enjoy swimming but I will not set foot in a public pool so that is a point in favour of the summer. There is a secluded cliff coast near where I live where I can swim by myself.
I hate bright light and summer has that in abundance, and I also hate being sweaty and sticky and during summer I have an even harder time being out in public as dealing with everything is so much harder when all you can think about is the sweat drops dripping down every surface and crevice of your body.

AC is must have inside. Even portable one.
Extreme hot and humidity is no longer summer for me.

Summer seems to be an exception for me. I hate feeling sweaty but I love direct sunlight on my skin. At least until I start to sunburn, but I'm building up a good base tan this year. =D
