    Probably pretty normal - I wouldn't consider myself a highly sensitive person, but sometimes the littlest thing can crush me emotionally lol

    I actually thought my score would be a little higher since I consider myself a highly sensitive person.

    I got a 24. I think having Asperger's must really raise your score because of all the sensory symptoms.

    Apparently 13. I was always labelled as oversensitive, but maybe I learned to mute some things out. I still am a fan of art, though :slight_smile:

    I got a 24, which is a fun score, because 24 is a really good number, so I'm happy with that result :blush:

    I got 11, which seems kind of low to me. I think the questions could be written better. For example a lot of them are about ability to handle stress and sensory input, but I'm awesome at handling stress in the current moment, it's only a few hours or days afterwards that it hits me and I get sensitive about it. So it's not that I'm not sensitive, my sensitivity is just more delayed.

    Exactly. Idk, I notkce a lot, but it doesn't mean it stresses me out, but the test makes the assumption that it has to if you notice.

    Interesting. Personally, it hits me in the current moment and I'm often thrown into fight or flight mode even when there is no danger. I usually know if a situation is likely to cause this, so I often bring various objects and also make a back-up plan just in case it's all too much and I have to leave early. Restaurants, parties, supermarkets, picnics...they are all events where I might get overwhelmed, which does indeed lead to stress and mental exhaustion. Sometimes my body gets so stressed and tense that I start crying. I've also had it where I've stayed in a sensory-overwhelming environment for too long and experienced derealisation as a result. When this happens, you could say anything to me at this time and it wouldn't register. I can hear conversation, but everything is muffled (almost like white noise) and I get this sensation of being dizzy. I have to calmly focus on one detail in the room, and then slowly let everything else come back into my perception.

    However, being overwhelmed in such a manner doesn't stop affecting me when I leave the situation. I have to relax by myself for a while, otherwise I become rather grouchy (due to exhaustion/ feeling stressed) and end up saying things or acting in a way that is inherently rude. Almost as if I've lost control of myself and I have to fight internally to stay civil but often fail. Low lighting, favourite music on, snacks, and a blanket... all things I need in order to recover.
