Synaesthesia is something I always like hearing about, because it's one of the "conditions", by being harmless on its own, that the main factor that makes other conditions harmful is often the context that's being put around them. The context being put around synaesthesia is relatively harmless, that is, our society doesn't judge, condone or condemn people based on whether they know that o is red or not (even though it obviously is). The less importance is put on someone's perception of something being the same as what it's assumed to be, the less that difference in perception matters. I hope that humankind can eventually extend that logic to other conditions as well.
