I probably have synaesthesia! I have been noticing that I'm able to feel that a name or a word in general can have a colour!
Here's a website that people must check out!

if i have synathesia not like that. it is more words have tones/emotions and sounds have shapes/form and colour.
The voice of a typical prep sounds pointy, and it sounds as though her voice was a needle stabbed into my eardrum. NOT PLEASANT.
Sometimes a guitar chord can sound shinier than another. That's because it has higher notes to it as well as low notes. It could probably be just me having to use a visual adjective because I don't know very many audial adjectives, as a musically challenged artist.
When I was really little, I always thought that hippos were loud, even though I didn't know what a hippo sounded like. It must be because of its size.
Sometimes, a sharp pain can feel like a triangle, and a dull pain can feel like a slightly curved line or a large circle.
that does sound a bit like capd, as well, except for the shapes that is, shapes are more usually associated with sound, shapes of rather than emotion with me. though, emotions can be coloured or have colours, or maybe that's more mood, i don't know. i have over sensitiviness to noise to the point of some sounds being painful but that painfulness, eeek moment, is generally not associated (as in i don't) with what i mean by sounds having shapes, form or colour, i think its generally a bit too painful for that and its more a blank/blink in those moments.
Mmmm, no, Bob, I think that is not considered synaesthesia. I think that is considered a difference in visual/audial thinking. I know that either one is considered normal..... whereas synaesthesia is considered *special* (although it's not that much, because it's 1/1000 people, which is relatively common, just a little rarer than AS).
I have noticed that my color-asociations tend to reflect personal experience with a sound, example string instruments sound like the color of wood which is because they are made of wood. This has in the past made me wonder if I am really a synaesthete or if it is just that I have an overactive imagination.... But I think I do have it. And whether or not I do, the colors I see/imagine enhance my experience of music and other sounds so much that i would not give it up even if it *is* imagination.
The only other sense of mine that could be synaesthetic is pain; I have a tendency to divide pain into "red" pain or "blue" pain (and it's funny, Meiloyn, when I read your description of pain as a triangle or a circle I automatically perceived the first as red and the other as blue!), and what the difference is between the two I'm not sure; there simply IS no adjective beyond "blue" to explain what blue pain is.
In general for me moods do not have colors, but when I am happy, I feel bubbly-sparkly-yellow-orange, and when I am paranoid it is distinctly violent-fuschia-purple plus sparkles, an impossible color that is simply too bright to exist outside my head.
Sometimes I feel a certain person is a certain color, as does my bf. He says I am a deep blue color, for me he is a very dark blood-like red, which is funny because it is a reversal of the colors commonly asociated with the feminine/masculine divide. My bf hypothesizes that we are actually "seeing" eachothers auras, but I don't believe in that kind of thing.
There is a huge variety of different kinds of synaesthesia and what one synaesthete senses from a word or sound may be completely different from what another senses, even if their synaesthesia works the same way. That is simply how it is.
i've been thinking, its not really synathesia though when you need or do pictures or have to see things 'up there' to 'get it' is it, i think that's more autism.
post script, in the sense that one has to distance oneself from it to see it.
post post script and get it (if at all).
and i do not like the idea that everyone can see me when i can't see me.
interesting, in what way then ? i thought it was an interesting film, he kind of reminded me a bit of myself, because he talks so well i think.
aspie44.8 wrote; such as 10, 30, 700, or 1000, are not consided feminine,
they do look harder yes but that is about as far as it gets for me, i don't do maths or numbers, its all a jumble to me and i very seldom think about them and certainly not in such depth. i think it fascinating that you have such associations.
I think I just got the same associations to those numbers now after seeing those pics.
they are col pix, thanks for showing/sharing.
I seem to have it the strongest with music.
Still have sound synaesthesia.
And I do agree about letter E being female.
