I’m a 13 year old girl who happens to have synaesthesia. (No, I’m not self tested. My parents kinda freaked out when I was like 4 and I was like your name is green ((I have grapheme –> color synaesthesia)) and also when I would say stuff like “your voice is purple”((I have sound–> color synaesthesia as well))so they took me to a pediatric neurologist.) Anyways, my friends are like “Awesome!! Am I one?? Where can I read about it??” and your site is one of the best I’ve found. If anyone is interested, another superr good site is synesthete.org. For more info on synaesthesia, feel free to email me at katie.givan@gmail.com!!

Ward, J., Simner, J. & Auyeung, V. (2005).A comparison of lexical-gustatory and grapheme-colour synaesthesia. Cognitive Neuropsychology, 22(1), 28-41.
Jamie Ward is familiar to both myself and Vaughan, as he is my PhD supervisor and ran the Masters course that Vaughan did. Viv Auyeung used to be taught by me when she was an undergraduate; she has since moved on to better things. Not that thats hard. We’re still friends, so it can’t have been all bad…
