    ADHD can impare visualization as well, and people with ADHD can also have Aphantasia.

    So maybe you have both? The connection between the two isn’t understood yet.

    The term Aphantasia is very new. Under 10 years old I think. I learned I had it before the term was officially a thing but there were a few articles about it without a name. I always thought people were just using visualization examples as a matter of expression, not something they were actually doing. E.g counting sheep.

    Also I totally understand what you mean about describing people. I’d be useless to a sketch artist
