How many people worldwide have synesthesia?
Ten in a million.
Research estimates around ten in a million people have synaesthesia.
Although many studies have been done on this, currently noone has settled on an official percentage of people born with synesthesia. However, this doesn't mean that numbers don't exist, just that many of them don't agree with eachother, and therefore there can't be a sure answer.
What are the side effects of synesthesia?
There are a few traits that are common among synesthetes. Such as:
-vivid, intense dreams

-hard time multitasking
-tendency to isolate oneself
-very creative and artistic hobbies/professions
-very visual people generally
-have strong memory and (unconscious) memorization skills
-the condition is linked to autism, and there for there are crossover similarities between the two
-usually very kinesthetic (they like to use their bodies)

It's a little hard to explain but I'll try.
For me it's like seeing a number and there being a pop-up screen in your head that projects the numbers and letters you are seeing, the only difference being they are in color. It's fast and if you are focusing on the meaning of the text or reading quickly the colors fade fast but if you read slowly words (mostly numbers for me) start to dance with color on the screen. It can feel overwhelming sometimes and confusing like a mush of information that makes everything feel fuzzy.
Here is an example of what the numbers are on the screen for me:
0 - Clear with a fuzzy grey shadow, like an embellishment (the clear pop-up ones for scrapbookers)
1 - White
2 - Blue, typically a light to mid-range muted blue
3 - Red, always red, bright red; male and devilish
4 - She is hard to pin to one color, she masks herself and tends to float around between three colors: Bright blue, Bright "blocky" green and when she is with other numbers like 24 she is yellow-gold
5 - He is always the colors of mud (brownish, reddish, goldish) a generally childish number and generally when paired with numbers he taints their colors
6 - She is a light muted green with a hint of yellow (not lime green!)
7 - She is very pale very light yellow, extremely pristine and innocent and has a "holy" status
8 - Deep cool purple
9 - He is awful... horrible and mean especially to 7 and an extremely dark dominating brown almost black color
10 - White
11 - Light tart-tasting pink
Does nn count as one grapheme?
Phoneme: the smallest unit of sound that you can hear within a word; the word ... A one letter grapheme is the 'c' in cat where the hard 'c' sound is .... m / mop, hammer m mm, mb. / n / nail, knot n nn, kn. / p / pump, puppets p pp. / r / rain, write.
Grapheme itself does not melt in the traditional sense, as it is a two-dimensional material made of a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice. Instead of melting, grapheme may decompose at high temperatures or undergo phase transitions. Its thermal stability allows it to withstand significant heat, but it will eventually break down if exposed to extreme conditions.
A grapheme is the smallest unit of a writing system in a language, which can represent a single sound (phoneme) or a combination of sounds. Grapheme words are typically made up of one or more graphemes, which can include letters, digits, or other symbols that convey meaning. For example, in English, the word "cat" consists of three graphemes: 'c', 'a', and 't'. Understanding graphemes is essential for reading and writing, as they form the basis of word construction and phonetic representation.
What does semitism of the eyes mean?
"Semitism of the eyes" refers to physical characteristics traditionally associated with individuals of Semitic descent, particularly the shape and appearance of the eyes. This term can be controversial and is often used in discussions about ethnic stereotypes or racial features. It is important to approach such terms with sensitivity, as they can perpetuate stereotypes and may be used in a derogatory context. Understanding the historical and cultural implications of such descriptors is essential in promoting respectful dialogue about ethnicity and identity.
Do people with synesthesia have the 5 senses like normal people too?
Yes, most people with synesthesia have the "five senses", unless of course they have a disability, in which case they would obviously not.
Are there any careers associated with synesthesia or are there any careers to do with synesthesia?
Not especially for a synesthete (I don't think!), unless they wanted to become a scientist researching the condition which most people would be able to do.
How do you know if you have synesthesia?
If you feel a sudden, unwarranted connection between your senses, you are experiencing synesthesia. If this occurs often and is not apparent in your peers, it is very likely that you are synesthetic.
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).

NO! I don't have it but from talking to people who do most people find it enjoyable. & don't find having it.
I have synesthesia, and it is almost helpful to me. My friend was pregnant with a boy, and when she asked me for a name, I found one that sounded sweet and yellow (good) and gave it to her. She loved it. A few other accounts were made easier, but all in all, it is not annoying AT ALL.
I don't know. Sometimes it gets to me because I will start thinking about the colors rather then the words.
Synesthetes often experience their sensations from birth or early childhood, may have strong emotional responses to things that trigger their synesthesia, and often feel synesthetic experiences are pleasant. They do NOT consider this trait to be a disability, but think of it as an added bonus to their normal sensory perceptions. Many synesthetes are surprised to learn, during childhood or adulthood, that not everyone senses the world the same way as they perceive it.
Most of the time it is; however, it can also be the result of injury.
No, it isn't a disease, it's just the way your brain is wired. It isn't unpleasent either, so there is nothing bad about it.
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.
