These are your sensory results, displayed in order of dominance.
Visual Avoider
Visual - bright lights
Bright lights in shopping centres and sunny days are just not your thing. You find flashing lights and moving lights too much and do all you can to avoid these places and situations. Images may fragment and distort for you. You may find it hard to make and maintain eye contact. If it’s sunny or bright you blink or shut your eyes. You may struggle to fall asleep if your room is not in complete darkness. You may experience headaches and sickness when exposed to these conditions.

Audio Seeker
Audio - silence
The noisier the better right? You perhaps like to make noises yourself with your mouth, or banging an item, or clicking something repeatedly. Sound Seekers often love the noise of a crowd, the TV up loud and music on full-blast. Maybe you love audiobooks and listening to stories rather than reading them. You might say things over and over that you like the sound of. It could make you feel excited, or calm – it could be either, but you love it and need to satisfy that urge for noise.

Scent Seeker
Scent - sensitivity to smells
You have the ability to smell a scent from 100 miles away! Smells that some find quite pleasant or tame you feel repulsed by and it can make you feel sick like you’re going to wretch. You can often detect very tame smells – things that other people can’t and you just have to get away from that smell.

Touch Avoider
Touch - touchy-feely and personal space
Comfort is king for you and knowing what’s coming next and you don’t like your personal space being infringed. Avoiding certain textures or physical stimuli is common with SPD and can make everyday life very difficult. Being a Touch Avoider may mean you cannot stand certain fabrics on your skin – it may physically hurt and feel like burning and labels can feel super itchy uncomfortable. You hate when people touch you and it can send what feels like bolts through your body. You don’t enjoy being hugged and may recoil from physical touch.

Oral Seeker
Oral - unknown or unwelcome tastes and textures
You tend to have a bland diet and lean towards always eating the same things which can lead to something called a ‘restrictive diet’. You might have a preference for one single thing such as only eating smooth textured food; crunchy or dry finger foods; or bland-coloured foods. Perhaps you dread going out to eat with friends or your child visiting someone else’s house as a result. You may worry about the nutrition you or your child is getting but cannot get yourself or the person you care for to expand their palate.

Vestibular Seeker
Vestibular - Energy!
Roundabouts, trampolines, skipping, bouncing, jumping, flapping, swinging and bumpy bus rides – these may be things you love, love love, to do! Perhaps you don’t sit still, like to balance, wobble and repeatedly rock and move. Maybe you like to shake your leg or wiggle your fingers – you just need to move! Clearly, it’s hard to bounce, jiggle, spin, rock and swing in a workplace or school – but planning for time when your body can get what it craves is possible and can satisfy that need.

Proprioception Avoider
Proprioception - over defensive
You are sensory defensive when it comes to movement. You may avoid things that require lots of movement for fear of becoming uncomfortable. So you might avoid busy places so as not to bash into people, or you might walk around the edges of a room rather than straight through the middle. You may prefer to wear baggy clothing or bigger shoes as you don’t like the restrictiveness this can cause.

Interoception Seeker
Interoception - recognising your body's signals
You can go hours without drinking and never realise that the banging headache you have is because not a drop of liquid has passed your lips all day. It could be almost bedtime and you remember that you have not eaten! You really struggle to recognise the signals your body is giving you that control your body’s basic needs – pain, thirst, hunger and toileting.
