Do you have Synesthesia? (1 Viewer)

[madden1010]

If you have synesthesia, it would be a great favour to me if you could tell me your experiences with it. I am currently in the process of gathering as much information on the disorder as possible for my English Extension 2 major work and need to know more realistically about it (i.e. how you deal with it, how it affects your day to day life, what are some advantages and disadvantages, etc.) before I begin drafting.

If you don't know if you have it or not, there is a link below to an online synesthesia test.

This is really the only test I could find that didn't involve signing up to a website in order to take a test/get results, but for a more accurate test (you will need to sign up), here's another link:

Can you please tell me some of your experiences with it, good or bad, and how that's affected you? If you could it would help me a lot...

Yes! Well so I've been told by a family friend , who is a doctor. When I was younger I used to be able to remember spelling words really easy because each letter represented a colour and I was able to remember how to combined the colours correctly to form the correct spelling. It was the same with simple maths things, colour coordination. Now as I've grown older its doesn't really affect me at all. Only like little things. Like for example, if somebody says a word, each word makes me think of a food? Lol. Like maths represents mayonnaise, no idea why. I suppose advantages and disadvantages are kind of the same because it helped me remember things when I was younger but I remember I used to cry in exams when I was like in year 3 cause I was so stressed and confused by the different symbols and things (not being able to process it all fast enough - running out of time) I was like 7 then so it hasn't really affected my life. I don't know if any of this is making sense, maybe somebody else could expand on this in a more helpful way? Good luck
