Synaethesia - describing/visualising things in colour...any experience of this?

[Blossom4538]

Dd is showing signs of thks?! She is also under assessment for ASD and I believe it’s more common on the autism spectrum.

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this or their little ones?

My children have this in varying degrees - none are on the autistic spectrum, though one has mild dyslexia, one has mild dyspraxia, and they are all quite artistic. It was fascinating the other day hearing them discuss what colour the days of the week are! I also remember a journey where none of us could remember the name of a town on the route, but DD said it was a pale blue town and she would recognise it when she saw it. She did, too.

Yes, our little girl sees the days of the week as colours! Also, body pain such as headache, as blue. It’s fascinating.

I see numbers in diferent colours, always have. I have never seen numbers in black, only number 1 is black. 2 is yellow, 3 is blue, 4 is green, etc.

Days of the week are also specific colours as are people's names. Migraines make me see colours too.
