Ok I hope I got the spelling right. I was browsing about trying to find answers to all of my lifes little problems and I came across something that amazed me. I have always for some reason Associated certain letters and numbers with colours I cannot explain it I really cant I thought it was nothing. Its a bit like to me A is red B blue C yellow D is blue/red etc etc.

So I came across a description of this and it came under the category of Synaesthia, what I am wondering basically is where has this come from? Is it linked with OCD or tourettes syndrome at all? Or is it its own personal category. Also is there anything to stop the consistant thought.

Basically if someone says a letter or a date or something like the 6th of april or something like that I will have to skip through all the numbers till I find out to myself "Oh that ones orange" It sounds ridiculous I know. But I am a pretty ridiculous person lol so its a good match =) But either way it is starting to frustrate me more and more and I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to kind of...stop it.
