I have aphantasia, a mental disorder where I lack all internal visualization. I cannot “picture” things in my mind, I think in words and numbers and such. With this, I am very curious how the mental imagery works for the rest of you. Do you see it separate from your main vision? Does it get interposed? Is it like picture in picture? I’m baffled!
TIA.

I have apahantasia and am on the spectrum. I cannot hold an image in my head while trying to think of it. If I try to imagine an apple I do not see an apple. What is get are flashes of what makes an apple. Flashes of red and green. The concept of what is round. A fleeting essence of what an apple tastes like. But never just an image in my head of an apple.
