Does anyone else have Synaesthesia

Yes I have some form of synaesthesia, you say days have feelings which is really interesting but probably intense.

For me, each day of the week is a different colour and all the weekdays have the same shape but Saturday and Sunday are both circles. I think of this as a way of representing the lack of structure at the weekend.

It's a strange thing and it can be annoying like when watching stuff because different things block the screen

I have never heard of this before, your synaesthesia must be really strong.

Synaesthesia is common in autistic people as just another form of neurodivergence. Some people may not even think of synaesthesia as separate to autistic experience- these experiences may just merge and be acknowledged as part of your individual sensory profile.

Have you heard of this autistic artist Patrick Samuel? He uses his synaesthesia to enhance his artwork. This article may be of interest:

I find it really how we all experience this differently, a bit like autism I suppose it is. All the same but with differences. I find it interesting how you see the days and weekends. 

I hadn't heard of him no but thanks for sharing about him with me. I appreciate it and will start reading now.

Sometimes the colours are stronger, I think it depends on my mood. You are very welcome. Patrick Samuel also has an art/ music website and an Instagram page.
