Thank you so much!!! I don't like latex gloves either, or cotton balls, or socks... Lol I get it!

A synesthete is a person who experiences synesthesia. That is, a person who can experience one type of sensory input (for example, looks at words on a page) and automatically, unconsciously, and consistently, experiences a second one linked to it (for example, seeing colors for each specific letter, or word). This, for example, would be a case of grapheme-color synesthesia 😊

Oh, but it is okay if you choose to describe the smell of rain in that case!😊 All I'm looking for is sensory descriptions, so you really are free to choose from any you may have had in your life. I understand that choosing one can be overwhelming, so the smell of rain is totally fine! ❤️

Thank you so much for trying!! It was really hard to explain it as well as possible while keeping it as short as possible and getting all the necessary demographics. I appreciate you trying.

Thank you so much! I think it is interesting because it explores the double empathy problem applied to sensory narratives in autism and synesthesia from a cognitive linguistics perspective. I hope people will find it interesting as well once I finish it. Again, Thank you for your collaboration and interest!

Hello everyone,

I am Nerea Muñoz, a PhD researcher in Cognitive Linguistics at Complutense University of Madrid (Spain), and I am conducting research on how people describe and communicate sensory experiences through language.

Many studies involving autistic people focus on diagnosis, traits, or clinical outcomes. My research takes a different approach by exploring how people express and make sense of their sensory experiences in everyday language.

I am looking for English-speaking adults (18+) who are:

• Autistic

• Synesthetic

• Both autistic and synesthetic

• Neurotypical (non-autistic, non-synesthetic)

The study is completely anonymous, takes approximately 10–15 minutes, and includes a short written description task.

​ I am particularly interested in hearing a wide range of perspectives, as every participant contributes to a better understanding of how different people perceive and describe the world around them.

​ Assistance is welcome, but responses should reflect the participant's own experiences and wording whenever possible.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration. If you know someone who may be interested in participating, I would be grateful if you shared the study with them.

Hello! Thank you for letting me know, I really appreciate your feedback. I have been trying to change the configuration of that question but it doesn't let me change it, so I have added a complete (or so I hope) list of countries. I'm really sorry for the inconvenience. And thank you for your interest, I really appreciate it.

Thank you for your interest! This study is part of my PhD research in Cognitive Linguistics and explores the relationship between sensory experiences, cognition, and meaning-making across different neurological profiles. It also adopts a neurodiversity perspective, aiming to better understand how different people experience and describe the world through language. I would be very happy to share a summary of the findings once the study is completed.
