My Synesthesia Map: Grapheme-color Synesthesia

I have a condition called Synesthesia that some define as a sort of autism or a condition where your brain experiences correspondences between sound, colour, letter or numbers. My particular case is one in which my brain maps certain colours to certain numbers and letters. Several famous artists both musical, visual arts, and even literary geniuses have documented cases or even written about their experiences. As a kid I had an incredibly difficult time being made to learn using those magnetic plastic letters and numbers. The colour of the plastic never properly corresponded to the right letter or number so I gave up using them as early learning devices.

Never knew about the condition. That is what art is all about – learning and experiencing something new.

It felt a bit embarassing at first actually to reveal something I consider very personal to me. Thanks for your thoughts guys. Greatly appreciated.
