I remember telling my older brothers when I was a kid about my synaesthesia experiences and I can still hear them laughing and calling me crazy.For those of you who never heard the term before, synaesthesia is a neurological condition.There are many types of synaesthesia, mine is called grapheme-colour synaesthesia.In basic terms that means I perceive words as inherently coloured.For example:the word synaesthesia is red to me.xomba is grey.

Mine is the most common type of synaesthesia.If you find it weird then you'll be even more freaked out to know that some people taste sounds.

There's many people out there with this condition who don't even realise it.They experience it but they just ignore it. So, if you're one of those people you should know that there are associations out there interested in hearing from you.

Scientists have been doing a considerable amount of research in this field in order to understand how our brains habe been rewired and to understand what are the benefits and disadvantages of this condition,if any.
