   Hi! I am Emily's friend, Abby. I have synesthesia like Mia Whinchell in the book, "A Mango Shaped Space". I have lexical synesthesia, which means I see colors with graphemes (letters and numbers). Many ask if I literally see colored letters or if I just associate the colors with graphemes, and I actually do see colored graphemes. It's nice because my synesthesia helps me study for spelling bees.  I just remember the colors!
  I don't like my real name, Abigail because the colors don't go well together. My favorite letter is "R" because it is a hard color to explain to non-synestetes and it is a color that only I know!
  If you are interested in synesthesia or have synesthesia, you might like the website synesthete.org . It has cool fact6s about synesthesia, and if you are a synesthete you can take a test battery. The information is sent to a research center for synesthesia.
