what is synesthesia synesthesia is when
what is synesthesia synesthesia is when the stimulation of one sense
the stimulation of one sense
the stimulation of one sense automatically triggers another for
automatically triggers another for
automatically triggers another for example when a synesthete hears the
example when a synesthete hears the
example when a synesthete hears the sound which appeals to his or her
sound which appeals to his or her
sound which appeals to his or her auditory sense this synesthesia is able
auditory sense this synesthesia is able
auditory sense this synesthesia is able to taste that sound or a musical note
to taste that sound or a musical note
to taste that sound or a musical note now this is just one example another
now this is just one example another
now this is just one example another example could be maybe you smell a
example could be maybe you smell a
example could be maybe you smell a certain smell and colors pop up let’s
certain smell and colors pop up let’s
certain smell and colors pop up let’s say you smell cherries and Brown pops up
say you smell cherries and Brown pops up
say you smell cherries and Brown pops up in your mind so the word sin means joint
in your mind so the word sin means joint
in your mind so the word sin means joint anesthesia means senses therefore
anesthesia means senses therefore
anesthesia means senses therefore together sin is synesthesia means join

together sin is synesthesia means join senses now you’re probably wondering why
senses now you’re probably wondering why
senses now you’re probably wondering why haven’t I heard about this before and
haven’t I heard about this before and
haven’t I heard about this before and where did synesthesia come from now
where did synesthesia come from now
where did synesthesia come from now because it’s really complex and rare and
because it’s really complex and rare and
because it’s really complex and rare and only about 4% of the world has this even
only about 4% of the world has this even
only about 4% of the world has this even so today scientists don’t really know
so today scientists don’t really know
so today scientists don’t really know where I mean what really causes
where I mean what really causes
where I mean what really causes synesthesia but a common theory is that
synesthesia but a common theory is that
synesthesia but a common theory is that the neurons in your mind’s four
the neurons in your mind’s four
the neurons in your mind’s four different senses are supposed to
different senses are supposed to
different senses are supposed to separate like after four months so let’s
separate like after four months so let’s
separate like after four months so let’s say this your hearing sense and this is
say this your hearing sense and this is
say this your hearing sense and this is your tasting sense they’re supposed to
your tasting sense they’re supposed to
your tasting sense they’re supposed to separate but for synesthetes they always
separate but for synesthetes they always
separate but for synesthetes they always stick together that’s why when you hear
stick together that’s why when you hear
stick together that’s why when you hear a sound you taste something and it’s
a sound you taste something and it’s
a sound you taste something and it’s always automatic now genetics is the
always automatic now genetics is the
always automatic now genetics is the people think genetics is the main reason
people think genetics is the main reason
people think genetics is the main reason of where synesthesia came from and
of where synesthesia came from and
of where synesthesia came from and because most of the theories involve
because most of the theories involve
because most of the theories involve neurobiology and speaking of genetics
neurobiology and speaking of genetics
neurobiology and speaking of genetics when I was younger my sister and I often
when I was younger my sister and I often

are many types of synesthesia because
are many types of synesthesia because synesthesia is basically like I said
synesthesia is basically like I said
synesthesia is basically like I said earlier the combination or two or more
earlier the combination or two or more
earlier the combination or two or more senses crossing paths together this is

senses crossing paths together this is the most common form of synesthesia
the most common form of synesthesia
the most common form of synesthesia called grapheme-color synesthesia this
called grapheme-color synesthesia this
called grapheme-color synesthesia this is what I was born with and so for

you don’t actually see number five with red for example but in your mind when
red for example but in your mind when

what’s five there because of
what’s five there because of grapheme-color synesthesia sometimes
grapheme-color synesthesia sometimes
grapheme-color synesthesia sometimes your mind it sort of gives identity
your mind it sort of gives identity
your mind it sort of gives identity towards numbers and letters so for
towards numbers and letters so for
towards numbers and letters so for example for me the number nine is always
example for me the number nine is always
example for me the number nine is always a female because for me it’s the color
a female because for me it’s the color
a female because for me it’s the color pink and pink is like a feminine color
pink and pink is like a feminine color
pink and pink is like a feminine color that’s why 9 is always a pink for me and
that’s why 9 is always a pink for me and
that’s why 9 is always a pink for me and w like my own name is always light blue

about synesthesia and memorization and that is the story of Danielle two men so
that is the story of Danielle two men so

and believe it or not this guy was able
and believe it or not this guy was able to memorize twenty two thousand five
to memorize twenty two thousand five
to memorize twenty two thousand five hundred and fourteen digits of you know
hundred and fourteen digits of you know
hundred and fourteen digits of you know PI in mathematics in only five hours and
PI in mathematics in only five hours and
PI in mathematics in only five hours and nine minutes and he claimed that this
nine minutes and he claimed that this
nine minutes and he claimed that this was down to synesthesia and this guy has
was down to synesthesia and this guy has
was down to synesthesia and this guy has about at least five different forms of
about at least five different forms of
about at least five different forms of synesthesia and he claimed that when he
synesthesia and he claimed that when he
synesthesia and he claimed that when he sees zero to nine they have distinct
sees zero to nine they have distinct
sees zero to nine they have distinct distinct sizes and shapes in space and
distinct sizes and shapes in space and
distinct sizes and shapes in space and this really allows him to memorize it
this really allows him to memorize it
this really allows him to memorize it and I know you probably don’t get what
and I know you probably don’t get what
and I know you probably don’t get what he means but this is what this is kind
he means but this is what this is kind
he means but this is what this is kind of what he drew to explain to us so as
of what he drew to explain to us so as
of what he drew to explain to us so as you can see here 53 times 131 is 69 6949
you can see here 53 times 131 is 69 6949
you can see here 53 times 131 is 69 6949 oh it’s you can’t calculate with your
oh it’s you can’t calculate with your
oh it’s you can’t calculate with your mind but somehow he’s able to make that
mind but somehow he’s able to make that
mind but somehow he’s able to make that shape and if you look at the shape it
shape and if you look at the shape it
shape and if you look at the shape it actually complements each other all
actually complements each other all
actually complements each other all those curls and all those circles and
those curls and all those circles and

texture a color and a size and shape and
texture a color and a size and shape and that’s why it’s really easy for him to
that’s why it’s really easy for him to
that’s why it’s really easy for him to help him and because of this he was able
help him and because of this he was able
help him and because of this he was able to memorize PI all the way there so what
to memorize PI all the way there so what
to memorize PI all the way there so what does this mean what is my point my point
does this mean what is my point my point
does this mean what is my point my point is that synesthesia proves that not all
is that synesthesia proves that not all
is that synesthesia proves that not all disorders are purely bad and in fact
disorders are purely bad and in fact
disorders are purely bad and in fact with synesthesia sin there’s actually
with synesthesia sin there’s actually
with synesthesia sin there’s actually more good than harm and many even like
more good than harm and many even like
more good than harm and many even like for example autism there are many famous
for example autism there are many famous
for example autism there are many famous people who had autism like Albert
people who had autism like Albert
people who had autism like Albert Einstein’s Charles Darwin Isaac Newton
Einstein’s Charles Darwin Isaac Newton
Einstein’s Charles Darwin Isaac Newton and they all end up successful and
and they all end up successful and
and they all end up successful and synesthetes as well like Stevie Wonder

Pharrell Williams they all had
Pharrell Williams they all had synesthesia and it really helped them
synesthesia and it really helped them
synesthesia and it really helped them with their careers especially if your
with their careers especially if your
with their careers especially if your careers in art now again it proves that
careers in art now again it proves that
careers in art now again it proves that while you may be very bad and one thing
while you may be very bad and one thing
while you may be very bad and one thing like while disorder may hold you back
like while disorder may hold you back
like while disorder may hold you back significantly in one thing it can
significantly in one thing it can
significantly in one thing it can provide you with a great advantage and
provide you with a great advantage and
provide you with a great advantage and fire you to glory in another thing
fire you to glory in another thing
fire you to glory in another thing because just as the great Albert Islands

if you judge a fish by its ability to
if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree it’ll live its whole life
climb a tree it’ll live its whole life
climb a tree it’ll live its whole life thinking it’s stupid and so I think
thinking it’s stupid and so I think
thinking it’s stupid and so I think calling synesthesia a disorder is really
calling synesthesia a disorder is really
calling synesthesia a disorder is really it’s more like a paradox than an
it’s more like a paradox than an
it’s more like a paradox than an accurate depiction because it does more
accurate depiction because it does more
accurate depiction because it does more good than harm like all the advantages
good than harm like all the advantages
good than harm like all the advantages outweigh the disadvantages and so
outweigh the disadvantages and so
outweigh the disadvantages and so instead of calling it a disorder let’s
instead of calling it a disorder let’s
instead of calling it a disorder let’s call it an extra order and who knows if
call it an extra order and who knows if
call it an extra order and who knows if synesthesia I never existed
synesthesia I never existed
