I used to thought I had synesthesia until I watch a video about it, a woman said that she can't see when there is loud music playing because the sound invades all her vision, althought I assosiate colors to music they don't invade my vision, they are in another layer(they are mental visualizations). I also can feel the taste of something when I watch it or 'touch' with the eyes but I supose I just have a vivid sensory memory.



no, feeling colours and seeing them in your mind's eye is still synaesthesia.

Who else thinks that maybe newborns generally have synesthesia, but it most often goes away due to neural pruning at various stages of development?

I know it's more common in autists, but is it also more common in young children?
