Everything you claim is part of your "condition" is an exaggeration of the typical daydreaming loner experience that we've heard about ad nauseum at this point. Fuck off.

Actually, I only recently found out I had it, and I’m now a lab rat for a study at Imperial. But I mean, ok, Nazifag.

You're just autistic

how many books have you read and do you have a girlfriend ?

>>14810520
Nope.

>>14810563
Loads, but I’ve just finished a law degree so that’s mainly my reading now. No.

Do you consider it a mental illness

>>14810578
No, but it was described to me as a “neurological condition”. The study I’m part of is to look at its relation to anxiety disorders.

When did you realize what you had and how do people react when they find out

I had synesthesia as a kid, it occurred again when I used LSD.

In the last year of my degree. Up to that point, I’d had no issues but I found one tutor to be really difficult to follow. She, unusually, would use the white board to draw up what she was teaching. So, say we were doing agency - she would go to the board and write out “A —> B —-> C” and then loop lines back and forth. I can follow this usually if it’s something simple but with her a) she talks very fast, and b) these are complex legal ideas anyway.

Anyway, I landed up not being able to follow a thing for three tutorials so I spoke to the office and asked to be moved. I knew it was something about the teaching but not what especially. Because it was late in term and because my marks took a nosedive for the formative for this subject, they made me go see their faculty counsellor and he ‘diagnosed’ me. Got moved to another group and it was all fine. I just thought everyone was like this but apparently not. Goes to show its limitations, too, and that it’s not necessarily ‘cool’ but can actually hobble you.

Oh and I don’t talk about it with anyone. It just screeches “zomg luk at me I’m so unusooal!” so no. I just thought I’d post about it here because it’s the way I read that’s landed up being most interesting. I don’t read words in a line. I just look at the whole paragraph and the words sort of jump out at me and float around so I know what the paragraph is ‘saying’ without actually reading it.

As a text sommelier, what does this image evoke (smell, taste, texture, sound)

So ‘God’ is an ‘assigned’ word for me (also names generally) so I don’t get anything from it other than what it would usually mean. In isolation though, the letter ‘g’ is female and green. ‘O’ is also female (pink), and so is ‘d’ (blue). The word ‘hate’ is male and doesn’t like to talk to anyone. The word ‘OP’ is a good one because ‘o’ and ‘p’ are very good friends (both female, but ‘p’ is a light lavender colour). So this is always a fun word that will give me good feelings involuntarily.

The word ‘sommelier’, by the way, is a word that crams into my mouth and makes me want to chew it. Good example.

this is so gay it is not even funny anymore. Please stop and take some meds so you stop bothering us.

I’ve saged every one of my posts. If you don’t want to see the thread, I suggest you avail yourself of the ‘hide thread’ function.

i cant do this to some degree with easier texts but im guessing not as efficient as you and others like you

>>14810787
Yeah, it was especially helpful with reading big judgments. It’s hard to explain because there’s no actual process, it just happens. But yeah, it’s really good when it comes to huge amounts of words. The words that tell me the ‘whole story’ just stand straight out, so I ‘get it’ without actually reading. In fact, if I try read words all in a line it gets very tiring after a while and my eyes hurt.
