These are your sensory results, displayed in order of dominance.
Mixed Visual
Visual - all or nothing!
You have a mixed profile which can mean a number of different things. If you do have sensory processing difficulties what it probably means is … Visual challenges affect you in two different ways. You can be both over sensitive and undersensitive to visual stimuli. This can also change depending on your circumstances and environment. For example, if you are ill or overtired your senses can become heightened. If you are well-rested and calm things may not be so overwhelming. In more stressful environments like school, work or public places you may find your sensitivity is different to being in a calm and safe place like home. Each day can be different and depending on what’s happening and where you are. Your seeking and avoiding behaviours will help you to stay regulated.

Audio Avoider
Audio - super-sensitive ears
You have a kind of ‘sound superpower’, a bit like a spider-sense, and even the background noise in an office or classroom hum can be intolerable. Loud noises at parties, shops and concerts can set you on edge, and make you feel out of control or even angry. For you, sounds and conversations are magnified, you might even hear people breathing or chewing. But that doesn’t mean that you completely avoid sound as you may use your favourite noise to block out the noises you are trying to avoid.

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 Avoider
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 Avoider
Vestibular - coordination and balance
Sports is probably not your thing – you don’t enjoy it and you find it hard. Controlling and coordinating your body movements is tough and you may have trouble with balance and being able to stop suddenly when running. Perhaps you are prone to motion sickness. You could enjoy sitting on the floor and holding onto people. You perhaps are seen as destructive with toys or objects and can be rough physically with people.

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.
