Does anybody else get hot hands?

I always do, particularly at night. I have to sleep with an ice pack to keep them cold. But they feel cold to everyone else. Like if I touch someone, they feel warm. Then my hands get hotter. It's extremely uncomfortable.
Not sure if this is related to Aspergers or not?
Idk
 
It sounds like a sensory issue, as your brain is interpreting them as hot, when in fact they are normal temperature. Differences in sensory perception or sensitivity are related to Asperger's.
 
It could be related to the Sensory issues that come with Autism (SPD). -- It's often (from my understanding) that people have trouble judging temperature, for example I can stand very cold and hot temperatures compared to others.

and.. I always feel warm whenever everyone else feels very cold. (so on so forth).
 
When I was younger I used to get hot FEET all the time! I don't really anymore, but I used to sleep snuggled under a heavy blanket or comforter in winter...with my feet sticking out. So maybe something similar?

I still get hot feet!

Yes, this is what I was thinking. I read somewhere that some people on the spectrum find it hard to distinguish between hot and cold and confuse the two. I have actually experienced this, but not every time. If I pick up a cup of coffee, it doesn't feel cold.
