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 a smell?

Synesthesia is a condition in which the senses mix together (for example some people with Synesthesia see certain colors for certain sounds, or hear different sounds for different colors, and so on. So smells can have colors for someone with Synesthesia. There is no definite answer I can give, for three reasons. One, you did not specify which type of odor in your question. Two, I, nor anyone I know has Synesthesia. Three, the mixing of senses for people with Synesthesia is unique for every person affected, so it is impossible to give a true answer.


Why my synesthesia's gone?

Synesthesia can be temporarily lost during stressful situations such as the death of a loved one. Also, sometimes head trauma can cause one to lose synesthesia. It really just depends on your situation. Chances are it'll come back, though. For example, I've known people who have lost their synesthesia when a loved one passed away, and after the intense stress and pain of that situation subsided, their synesthesia returned same as ever.

Is synesthesia a disorder or a variation of normal sensation?

Synesthesia is a condition in which one sense (for example, hearing) is simultaneously perceived as if by one or more additional senses such as sight. Another form of synesthesia joins objects such as letters, shapes, numbers or people's names with a sensory perception such as smell, color or flavor. The word synesthesia comes from two Greek words, syn (together) and aisthesis (perception). Therefore, synesthesia literally means "joined perception."It is a condition, not a disorder. (I have it)


What is a statistic on synesthesia?
