Yes, most people with Synesthesia have the "five senses", unless of course they have a disability, in which case they would obviously not.

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!


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.


How do you cure Synesthesia?

You can't just take medicine and wake up the next morning synesthesia-free, but if you go through some kind of traumatic event (e.g. a car accident?) it might disappear temporarily or, if the event is EXTREMELY traumatic, permanently.


How do you tell your boyfriend that you have synesthesia?

well, make sure you're alone and carefully tell him that you have synesthesia... if he really does like you he'll understand completely and not push the subject. You may want to explain what type of synesthesia you have and how it effects your everyday life (as he may not know what it is).


What are different forms of synesthesia?

Spacial sequence synesthesia is where you have an automatic visual representation for chronological information. If you feel like January is to your left in autumn and to your right in spring, you probably have spacial sequence synesthesia. Ordinal Lingual Personification synesthesia is where you attribute psychological information to numbers, letters, or other symbols. If you feel like 2 is really immature, you probably have OLPS. There are also kinds where you automatically attribute colors to letters or numbers. Other kinds of synesthesia mostly involve any arbitrary association between sensory information. If you describe the taste of strawberries as yellow, you would have taste - visual synesthesia, if the sound of a saxophone reminds you of the taste of oranges, you would have audio - taste synesthesia. Audio - visual synesthesia is one of the most common. Typically, people with this see different songs as having different colors and textures.


What sound does yellow makes'?

Colors do not make sounds. However, if you are referring to synesthesia, a neurological condition where senses are involuntarily mixed, the sound of yellow is subjective and can vary between individuals.


Is it hard to sleep with Synesthesia?

Not at all. Synesthesia has no disadvantages other than a synesthete doesn't know what it is like to percieve things normally. Synesthesia will only enhance sleep if anything. I should know - I am one lol. I'm not saying that the above isn't true. however, i think that it would be a matter of opinion.
