synaesthesia resources
this page is where i share websites, sensory management tools, and communities that have helped me personally that i think can help anyone who has synaesthesia, and friends and families of synaesthetes. it is also to help clear up any misconceptions and misinformation with this rarely spoken about neurological trait.
this website is a collection of the different forms of synaesthesia that we know at the moment. it is not a full list because we are still unable to pin down exactly how many different forms of synaesthesia there are. however, it is a great resource to discover and clarify the form(s) of synaesthesia you have. there are comment sections under each form where you can write down your experiences and Pau, the creator of the website, can respond and answer questions about them.

synaesthesia associations
The American Synesthesia Association, Inc., a not-for-profit organization, was created in 1995 by Carol Steen and Patricia Lynne Duffy to provide information to synesthetes and to further research into the area of synesthesia.
The UK Synaesthesia Association is a non-profit making organisation, the Association brings scientists, researchers, students and synaesthetes together and provides verifiable and reliable information regarding the condition for the media and any other interested parties.
The International Association of Synaesthetes, Artists, and Scientists (IASAS) advances global awareness of the neurological phenomenon of synaesthesia through support for academic, creative, and community inquiry into cross-modal perception.
these organisations regularly hold conferences and meet-ups, both offline and online.
there are also non-english synaesthesia associations like the german synaesthesia association, as well as other several facebook groups that you may search to join as well.
