Is this a trait of people with AS? I seem especially sensitive to temperatures in the 50's and 60's.

When it is even 60 I need a light jacket.

The other day it was about 60° and I saw children playing in sleeveless shirts and sun dresses. Meanwhile I was bundled up in a The North Face fleece.

When I was younger I seemed to be a lot less sensitive to mild weather.

Give me the heat!

60 degrees, with a breeze, is definitely "light jacket" weather for most people.

The kids are playing in shirtsleeves in 60-degree weather because they are constantly in motion.

I used to play football in only a long-sleeve shirt when it was in the 20's.
