Different conversations have different background colors. I'm an associator - generally, the more interesting a conversation is, the more of my favorite shades the background color will be. The words are always black, though. Listening to someone talk can be like reading a book if I'm paying attention to it. <br /> <br />It affects me in three main ways. First, I HAVE to take notes when I'm in class, because with all those words flying by, I can't keep the main points in my head. <br />Second, learning a foreign language with a different alphabet is easy, as long as I don't see any transliterations. Then, the transliteration instead of the new alphabet will be what I see when I hear the word. <br />Last, it really doesn't help my literal thinking. I have Asperger's, and I'm already literal, but when I see the words of slang, it makes the literal-ness worse. I don't know how to describe it. It's like an extra step in decoding the meaning.. <br /> <br />But, I love it, because I can learn a bunch of languages and alphabets without having to associate vocab with pictures. I can also memorize things easier, because I see ("read") it every time I say it.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>yellowtamarin</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="http://cdn.wrongplanet.net/modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Thu May 24, 2012 12:24 am<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">I have grapheme-colour synaesthesia. It doesn't affect me too much, just in small ways, e.g. I sometimes get people's names mixed up, calling them by a name that is a similar colour; once at work I said "red" instead of "two" and got a weird look. <br /> <br />I also have spatial-sequence synaesthesia. I never really thought about it <span style="font-style: italic">affecting</span> me, as I assumed for most of my life that everybody visualised timelines in the same way I do. It's more a case of not being able to live without it, e.g. I have no idea how I could remember what I did last weekend if I couldn't actually see the week there in front of me, and 'go to it'.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>fefe333</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="http://cdn.wrongplanet.net/modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Wed May 23, 2012 11:37 pm<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: synesthesia</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">(I don't know if synesthesia is a psychological condition so if I should move it, please feel free to tell me) <br /> <br />if you have synesthesia, describe what kind you have and how it effects you <img src="modules/Forums/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="Very Happy" border="0" /> <br /> <br />for me, I have grapheme-color (letters,numbers,days,month,words have a color) and pain-color, number-personification, number-gender,and object-personification. <br /> <br />my favorite number is 3, because he's shy and sweet.and he's orange, which is my favorite color. I like the personality of my cofie table.she's sweet and caring. I enjoy head-aches because there's gorgeous green-yellow,even though it hurts. <br /> <br />I love synesthesia for the most part. Sometimes the colors I see are indescribable. Like the name kaitlyn is orange with green and yellow mixed in. Or 8 is purple-red. <br />it helps me remember things, like what number my hotel room number was because I remember the colors. <br /> <br />the only time it gets annoying is when I have sensory overloads (I have aspergers) <br /> <br />how does synesthesia effect you?</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="modules/Forums/templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> </table>
