Today I met another (naïve) synaesthete. My second 'discovery'. I'm not sure its always a good thing telling someone that they are different / special. This lovely, strong, and enviable woman found it hard to comprehend that she was unique and insisted we can all 'see it' if only we tried - tried to shut out the clutter of daily life - shut out the noise of the business of living.
Apart from some fairly common forms: colour / numeric / auditory, she remarkably had what I believe may be a new type of synaesthesia. She described gender specific digits. Each finger was a male, female, young male etc. How wonderful. She assured me they did not have a life of their own.
