I also am so glad that you posted about your daughter, and her experiences with this condition...puts to rest those sceptics, who think only people on drugs would experience this

Your daughter must have been fun to live with because of her observations...I bet it made her childhood interesting and challenging to you...

I am curious, did your daughter talk about this with her teachers and playmates, and what did they think of this...this whole thing to me is fascinating...

Yes, it was fascinating — once I figured it out, which I finally did when she was in fifth or sixth grade. Until then, some of the things she said were just bizarre to me, especially when she was younger and so insistent about it. Once I figured it out, and once she realized other people didn't "see" what she saw, it was less frustrating for her. Until then, she thought I was just dense.

The only part about it now that is REALLY weird is her perceiving music as seasons. One just cannot ride in a car with her without her punching the radio buttons every two seconds. "I can't listen to that song now in March, it's an August song." or "How can you listen to that, it's a fall song?" Mostly she burns CDs to take on trips so all the songs are the right season. Keeps the peace.

I joke all the time that she's going to have to find a very understanding husband because of what we call "the music thing."
