If your cheese is sharp and your shirt is loud, you might be a synesthete.

In this engaging IF conversation Daniel Tammet helps us understand how similar non-savant and savant minds truly are. If you regularly use puns, metaphors and plays on words, your brain is creating unexpected connections that are quite complex, much like the savant brain does. Daniel also explains how biological "cross-sensing" - synesthesia - might be related to everyday language about "sharp" cheese and "loud" shirts.
