I am completely fascinated by all of this!

I also think it's interestingly coincidental that you and horseshoe3 both have numbers in your usernames. In fact, I am pretty sure I have nearly mistaken you two before . . . way back when.

Yes, I can remember a person's phone number that I haven't called in 20 years.

My son - I think he may have this too because his ability to remember numbers is difficult to comprehend. Over the wknd I needed to update my webmail password and was prompted with an 8 digit number. I knew I wouldn't remember it so I told my older son to write it down for me. An hour or so later, I said "oh, I need that password again". I was about to get up and search for the piece of paper (we were staying at a hotel). I didn't have to because my 7 year old said "it's xxxxxxxx". He knew it! How

(he wasn't anywhere close to the paper where it was written down). I'm amazed.

But the way I found out about this synesthesia is a friend noticed her daughter was talking about colors of numbers while doing a math assignment. So when I searched for info on it, I found the spatial form of it and couldn't believe it. I never knew anyone studied this or that there was a name for it.
