    For some, it might feel as though their mind is mimicking the physical act of writing the word, a phenomenon known as motor imagery. “Some might notice typing words on a phone or a computer keyboard,” says Price.

    I have this, really interesting to know there is a term for it. Actually, “had” is more accurate, as it slowly diminished over the years and has essentially gone away now, probably stopped happening in my mid 20s or so. Sometimes it was handwriting, but usually QWERTY keyboard typing or even T9 dumbphone typing.

    Also experienced other mild forms of synaesthesia too, but those are gone now as well. Kinda miss it sometimes. Being a kid was kinda magical.

      Fellow synaesthete here but color grapheme, not the type of the article. May I ask what’s your approx age now? I’ve also noticed a mild decline in my own, but it’s still there. I’m in my mid 30s.

        I’m early 30s now. Interesting yours is still there. I also previously experienced color grapheme synaesthesia (more specifically just numbers which were coloured) but that went away by the time I was about 12.
