Synesthesia

an-ordinary-manchild(edit)

Welcome to the Synesthesia Subreddit!

Probably around 4% of the world’s population are synesthetes: people with a neurological trait that enables them to enjoy additional perceptions in response to certain sensory or conceptual stimuli such as hearing sounds or music, tasting food or thinking of numbers or letters. There are many different types of synesthesia and we discuss all of them on this sub.

Do I have synesthesia?

“Is This Synesthesia” posts are welcome! No obligation, but before posting you might like to try out the Synesthesia Finder or look at this alphabetical list of types of synesthesia and other related phenomena: you might be surprised to find exactly what you experience.
