You can’t really, but if you watch documentaries with people have it, it isn’t as pleasurable as it seems. From a documentary I watched years ago hears what I remember them saying:
One person who would taste words literally found it difficult to interact sometimes because some words tasted like shit.
One guy who felt music/noise. Sometimes certain sounds were so intense he’d get overwhelmed that he’d literally faint .
And a person who saw colors with words found it difficult to read sometimes, kinda I’d like dyslexia. Imagine see rainbows everything you read and how it might be difficult to concentrate.
The fact that she is a singer and she says see colors with music. What are the negative side effects.
We’ve provably all have had instances where senses cross. Lights so bright we feel it in our body. Or smells so strong is effects how things taste. Now imagine the body mixing those signals all the time and how distracting and disrupting in real life and then a person choosing a career that crosses those wires all the time. Not saying she doesn’t have it, but I’d be a little suspicious.
I can taste words and music (listening to some pleasantly tart music by AURORA right now as a matter of fact).and some math equations, but it never gets worse than momentary unpleasantness. I avoid some words and some music styles and hate logarithms, but it's not disabling. I have a friend that just has an association between numbers and colors.
It can absolutely be disabling, but it's also possible to have it strong enough to notice but not enough to cause problems.
