Is Synesthesia beneficial?

In: Uncategorized [Edit categories]

Answer:

It can be beneficial, for example in one of the most common types of synesthesia where the synesthete sees letters (and words) and numbers as having colours it can help to memorize spellings and numbers or dates, or it can be used to help remember telephone numbers and names. I have synesthesia and I often use it to help me remember the spellings of peoples names and words in foreign languages.
