Hm.
I am starting to wonder if synesthesia can change or fade over time.
I don't associate colors and tastes with words and numbers anymore, which is often considered the "most common" form of synesthesia, which I had when I was younger.
Now, I only associate -- in a mad blend -- colors, sounds, music, words, sensation, and emotion. A certain word will cause a certain sensation along my skin, including my tongue, so perhaps taste. Days, months, and numbers still have distinct personalities, but not colors or tastes anymore.
It all gets stronger during seizures, of course.
I have no idea how to categorize it, if it could be categorized. Oh... the word "categorize" is slippery and shiny, but with sharp edges. Oh, that feels nice. Categorize.
I hadn't thought about it much until this lively discussion about how certain authors make me twitch in indescribable ways.
