  • Honestly I don't remember, I may have used this one: https://aphantasia.com/study/vviq/ I didn't gave it because I don't know if you need to submit it with PII or not.

    On my side I am not able to to conjure any mental sense, no taste, no voice (no innerspeech as well), no pictures, ...

    The vividness of visualisations and autistic trait expression are not strongly associated

  • Mental imagery is a spectrum. At one end of the spectrum, you have hyperphantasia, and at the other end, aphantasia. While aphantasics score 1 on the Vividness of Visual Imagery Questionnaire (VVIQ) and make up about 1% of the population, hyperphantasics could be around 6% of the population (*). According to your description, I would say that you would score higher than I do on the VVIQ (more than 1 ;-))

  • Thanks

  • I would suggest that someone who does not lack multisensory mental imagery—what scientists refer to even for non-visual senses—may be able to vividly recollect past events from a first-person perspective (often described as a time travel flashback) using the senses that are not affected. Therefore, they may not be severely impacted or affected at all.

  • I would say that I do have SDAM, although I don't have an official diagnosis. In fact, I find the 'S' (Severe) label a bit overstated. The reason I identify with SDAM is that I have multisensory aphantasia, which means the only way I can access my past is through semantic memory. I am unable to re-experience past events from any sensory perspective, nor can I project myself into the future in that way.

  • I have multi sensory aphantasia and got a ASD diagnosis few months ago that spotted a high suspicion for ADHD as well...

  • Hello @ndr@lemmy.world , is this community also covering Anauralia or only 'visual aphantasia' ?

  • I agree that there is some form of advertising (at least sponsoring) associated with the article, but on the other hand, the point the article is making remains valid and knowledgeable.
