Make sure you include your body paragraphs on this page. Thanks! Mrs. A. The disability synesthesia has many effects on the person. Some of the effects for synesthesia are seeing different colored letters and shapes. For example, the letter A could be the color purple. When music is playing and there is an F sharp, it could be the color blue. Names could also be colorful too. The name John could be in all different colors with any color background. Colored shapes happen when there is a lot of noise. For example, when a person with synesthesia is at a party. They could see a square with yellow or a circle with reddish, brownish. Another effect is when hearing a word. The person can taste it. Like the word bees can taste like honey. The word bacon could taste like earwax. There are over a million different combinations on what word could taste like whatever the mind will think of. Not everyone would taste earwax if they hear the word bacon. Different people react to words differently. The last effect I’ll talk about is that some people are good at certain subjects in school and bad at others. For example, when you have synesthesia you are really bad at math. The reason why they would be really bad at math because some people have hard time when the numbers gets mixed up with letters like in algebra. Also, in some formulas that would make the person find the area or volume of a square. They are bad at multiplication sometimes because if the problem has numbers that have the same colors. Then that could be a problem. They person would have to guess what number it would be. Synesthesia is a disability that has many effects on the person who has it. Some of these effects are seeing colored letters and shapes, certain words can be tasted, and the last effect is that the person is good at certain subjects in school and bad at others. Some individuals have ways to help their synesthesia. Some of the strategies they use are acupuncture, drinking coffee, and taking a hot bath. Acupuncture helps people with synesthesia by when the needles are in their skin. The pain eases their mind. When it eases their mind it helps their concentrate. Drinking coffee help the person with synesthesia too. Coffee helps because the caffeine makes the synesthesia dull. When it’s dull, there will be not that many colors. Also, the colors won’t show up or just gray instead of the colors the person would normally see. Lastly, taking a hot bath helps the synesthesia a lot. What it will do is calm the mind. Also when there is steam all around the room. The steam will be all different colors. That will help the synesthesia become stronger. These strategies help the person make their synesthesia better and stronger. Synesthesia had to come from something, but what? Well this is my evidence of where and how it came from. Some people get their synesthesia genetically. When they are born, they get it from their father or mother (if they had it). Another way is that when the person was born and they have synesthesia. It means that the baby had far too many brain cells. If they do, that’s how their synesthesia came from. Lastly, some people will do certain drugs. It will make their mind see the colors. When the person is on drugs, the mind isn’t operating well. That is another way how synesthesia can be triggered. A lot of people would get their synesthesia genetic. It’s rare for someone to get it when they are doing drugs.__This info was posted by Chris__

 * Question-what are the effects? Answer- Depending what kind of synesthesia someone might have, their mind might match a color and or shape with a sound. This is the most common type of this sensory reversal. Another effect is taste. This type is less common than the color and shape but a large amount of people have this one. When a person with this sensory reversal hears a sound they will probably get a taste in their mouth, which will be a likeable taste, or an ... unlikable taste. Lastly, a uncommon type is pain. Like if they hear a taping of a hammer, they might feel a repetitive pain in their body.
