I see the World Differently Than You - The Tale of a Synesthete

Am I Alone?

     I've lived my whole life thinking everyone saw words. When I found out that almost no one did, I started down a long chain of questions and answers.

What's wrong with me?

I have Synesthesia, nothing is wrong with me

Are there others like me?

Yes

Why do they see colors around words and letters?

I'm a Ticker Taper with only one strong type (Ticker Tapers that don't have any strong color types don't see colors around letters)

Why do I have only one strong type of Synesthesia?

I don't know

How many Synesthetes have only one strong type of Synesthesia?

None so far

How many Synesthetes are only Ticker Tapers like me?

None so far

Am I alone?

So far, yes
