Interpreting results of Short Sensory Profile (Winnie Dunn)

I'm done with Christmas Cards

Hi, 

Can anyone help me to interpret these scores from my diagnostic report?

My report also states "You ... show problems with sensory integration".

I'm starting to think that this is at the root of everything that's bothering me. Combined maybe with alexithymia, I think this has played quite a part in my social avoidance and combined with the other conclusion from my report "You show qualitative impairments in social and emotional reciprocity, non-verbal communication deficits as well as difficulties maintaining and sustaining relationships", this may be all that I need from the diagnostic process.

I.e., a positive DX for ASD would give me a framework to interpret my life through, but to be honest it is the sensory and social overwhelm that are the key difficulties I face. Given that my employer has allowed adjustments for this, and if I ever needed it the Equality Act 2010 works off impairments and legal reasonableness rather than any diagnostic label, getting a DX for ASD is probably not practically significant for me. I'd still like the wiring diagram and owner's manual for my brain though, but I know that no-one has that :-).

  • Hi I was asked to complete one of these for my daughter for the school social and communication team, I asked her all the questions and put her answers (seemed appropriate as it is her senses)  she is still awaiting assessment for asd her score was 97. I believe anything under 154 should be considered for sensory problems. 

    I would still pursue the ados as an asd diagnosis might be useful for making sense of your life and it seems pointless stopping half way through process as if you change your mind you would have to start over.

    Thank you. I'm definately going for the ADOS as you say it would be silly to stop now, I'm just getting a bit less anxious over the final result :-)
