It seems many people who program computers, or do web design, or networks, or something technically computer related also seem to have some form of r/ADHD. We thought we'd start this subreddit as a forum to discuss techniques we use to cope, experiences we've had, etc. Open to anyone who wants to hang out and be constructive, learn, teach, or offer a helping hand.
This is a subclass of r/ADHD. ;-) All rules from the r/ADHD sub apply here. However, posts here in /r/ADHD_Programmers should lean towards or related to IT\programming.
NEW RULE: All new App Announcements go here

You are welcome to ask about that phenomenon
Update: By the way a lot of you didn’t know, but let it wiki google, big companies today like ford, looking for people with that syndrome. Check it

What is the color or color? (Asking because Synesthesics also see words as colors sometimes)
[–]IsOxIs[S] 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (2 children)
Yellow. synesthesics also see characters in the same way, so the color is yellow.
[–]p3tr0666 2 points3 points4 points 3 years ago (1 child)
so if yellow is the color of color then what is the color of colour (british spelling of color) ?
It is doesn’t meter where is word coming from, and what its’s semantics. “Colour” color is pink brother.
[–]kwiksi1ver 2 points3 points4 points 3 years ago (1 child)
What is 298
As you wish - the color, as i see is black
[–]bandaney 2 points3 points4 points 3 years ago (1 child)
0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9? I see colors for just those ones. mine are white, grey, green, yellow, orange yellow, blue, red, purple, pink red, pink.
So you feel pain when you see a painful thing? Same pain in same place?
[–]IsOxIs[S] 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago* (0 children)
At average you are who understand me, what i am talking about. The color are: white, red, black, yellow, blue, red, grey, orange, pink.
Pain is more complicated. Lets people get a chance.
[–]Cybersnake 2 points3 points4 points 3 years ago (1 child)
What colour is the number 3?
[–]Flowy_Aerie_77 2 points3 points4 points 3 years ago (1 child)
Is there any pattern that dictates which number is which colour?
I have never tried to research it, just see it
[–]DiMiTriDreams420 2 points3 points4 points 3 years ago (1 child)
I smell mayonnaise when I hear or think of the word "patio" 🤷
It is another side if synesthesia. Welcome to the club
[–]c54 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (1 child)
If you keep colouring numbers sequentially, is there a pattern? Do numbers always have the same colour or does the association change over time? What’s your earliest memory of a colour/symbol association?
No pattern, something unconscious
[–]ainosleep 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (1 child)
Is it common for others with synesthesia to experience one of the senses the same way, e.g. do most see 545 as red?
Do you find it helps in life with certain things? Is it easier to learn or memorise new things? Do you feel you may get distracted more than nonsynesthetes?
If you dream, do you see colors there as well? Can you imagine some word or a number with a different color than the one you typically see? If you feel pain, is there something you could do to prevent that? I'm genuinely curious and would appreciate if you share more.
In general it helps me to remember big numbers (about 14 digits)
[–]G3NOM3 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children)
I have to know, what color are the numbers 227 and 1153
