I'm not completely sure if this is synesthesia, but I get this very often. I am not officially
diagnosed with autism but I'm probably on the spectrum since I
think I exhibit some autistic behaviors, whenever I get angry or frustrated
I always get these random images in my head, a lot of times, the image sort of
comes off as some kind of turtle like creature from a cartoon, and
some Vietnamese person, often I visualize this "creature" as annoying me
in some way whenever I get mad like it would be dancing or singing. This would make me
very angry. I also get vivid images in my head when I hear music but it's not out of anger like the last one. For
example, I feel like I'm sensitive to certain patterns and beats in music, and some completely random image
would pop up in my head whenever a certain music beat is played, I see these images CLEARLY inside my head, and the images move, sometimes they're people but there's often a specific "motion" to them. It's hard for me to describe but I can even draw it on paper and these feelings are very profound whenever I get them. Another very big problem I have is that I start flipping the pages of my textbook, smelling them and flipping them across my lips whenever I study or do homework, and even when I'm thinking about something like math I will take some notebook or a bunch of papers and do this. I just like the sensation and texture of new papers or books. I know this is very strange but it is almost like it's completely from my imagination and it bothers me, can anyone explain?
