Am interested in synaesthesia at the moment, because I have it - the colour grapheme variety, meaning I see days of the week, numbers, months of the year, dates, events etc, in shades of colour. I have always had this all my life, but never used to analyse it because I assumed everyone had it. But they don't - I have asked people. Yet this way of seeing things is very common. Do any people on this forum have any type of synaesthesia (a mixing of the senses)? Synaesthesia means an input to one sensory modality, like an auditory input, gets exerienced in another sense - in a visual way, for example. There is nothing wrong with having synaesthesia. It is not usually a disability because it is something positive - it even helps with memory, and this has been the case for me. Some synaesthetes do experience it as a disability, particularly if all their senses are muddled or it is very intense; but luckily for me, I love the way I visualize things.
