People with ASD/synesthesia, do any of you also have the experience where really, truly listening to music (especially pieces that are more complex/layered like classical music) is completely overbearing, as much as you objectively would love it? If so, how do you deal with it/manage it?
Itās like it either physically hurts in my mind (usually bc the range of the music doesnāt match my vocal range), or if Iām processing it more fully, itās like im on some sort of rollercoaster ride and I hate rollercoasters. Or like itās surrounding me and IāmĀ āafraidā of it (or maybe overwhelmed by it??) sensory-wise.
Thanks
another synesthesia joke
why shouldnt you invite a grapheme synesthete to a family dinner?
they're known for having quite colourful language
What's it like having synesthesia?
A blessing and a little cursed. My synesthesia is 2 types:
Touch/Smell: i can smell with my skin. This one is superfrickin rare. It feels like a little superpower when it triggers. For example, i can put my hand in an old oven mitt and smell whatever old juice/scents it'd soaked up like i was pressing it up against my nose.
One time i sat on a spot on the couch and the back of my shirt rolled up and i smelled the urine from when our dog had pissed there 3 months ago with the skin on my lower back. No one else could smell it, even if they got within a foot to smell it.
JUMPED OFF THERE R E A L Q U I C K
This however and be a mixed blessing in relation to my job. I'm a Massage Therapist so when that shared neuron chain triggers while I'm working, i either smell the lotion I'm using (which is only neutrally scented), my patient's EXTREME BODY ODOR, or their perfume/soap. Sometimes the inside of my own shoes if they're particularly sweaty.
Lemme tell ya im SUPER SELF CONSCIOUS when it comes to how i smell bc of this. So whenever someone tells me i smell good, my automatic response is : "Thanks I try really hard actually."
And then I have the more common one, Grapheme-colored synesthesia, where colors are associated with concepts. Like "Thursday is Blue" which is interesting, but only helpful artistically for coming up with themes for stories/characters/ and matching them to patterns.
I also just learned Misphonia is a thing, which some scientists think is related to synesthesia, where you have violent negative reactions to certain sounds and boy oh boy is that true.
Certain loud or grating sounds make me jump like a cat or whip around and scream at the offending person or object that made them.
So that may be related, they say. But being a Synnie is pretty interesting bc you get a lot of extra sensations.

Synesthete Problem
When you canāt use any calendar or planner out there because it doesnāt fit your messed up spatial map of the year in your head
does anyone else with synesthesia find it inexplicably hard to function without an aid of some sort? like, for me, i absolutely need my headphones because the predictable pattern and sensation of sounds and colours helps me relax and when i donāt have this i find it incredibly hard to relax and calm down. like for me itās really hard to focus on anything at all when thereās tons of unexpected noise (eg. bus hitting multiple new potholes, child crying on bus, shuffling of feet/jackets, other people listening to their music, etc).
okay synnies hereās a suggestion for you: you know the trend of adding a number in parentheses after spelling it out? like one (1)? from now on we add the number that has the same color/ taste/ smell/ however you experience your syn as the letters.
Iāll go first: eight (5)
