How can people become tolerant about people with synesthesia?
There really is no way that any synesthete can force a person to become tolerant about synesthetes. There are a few ways to help others understand what synesthesia is, though, and this is a crucial step in helping people become 'tolerant' towards synesthetes. Firstly, when discussing synesthesia, make it clear that synesthesia is not a disease or disorder but is a condition or trait that synesthetes are born with. This idea that synesthesia is a bad thing like a disease leads to misconceptions towards it and people with it. Also, when approaching people for the first time - say family members or close friends - especially people who you think might be very skeptical about synesthesia, bring a list of books, websites, stacks of printed scientific articles, and so on. That way, when you discuss it with them, you can back up what you are saying with scientific evidence. This makes the synesthete who says something like "I see colors and shapes when I listen to music" more credible to someone who has never heard of synesthesia.

What is it like to have synesthesia?
Synesthesia is a condition in which one type of stimulation evokes the sensation of another; as in several senses. You don't really "get" synesthesia, you can inherit it genetically from your parents. It is often times passed on through the x chromosome, which explains why women are several times more likely to have it than men. You are most likely born with it and it is very rare. People who have lexical synesthesia see color in letters, numbers, or sounds,(and sometimes even in all three or just two). I learned a lot about it from " A Mango-Shaped Space" by Wendy Mass. This book is great, try it!
