I learned about aphantasia about two years ago and realized I had it as well. I never thought I had it different then others but was always frustrated with people on how they couldn't understand concepts as quickly. I was always someone who just got it and could see the big picture (that phrase is pretty ironic with me). Being able to process images only in a conceptual manner has helped me a lot to succeed in life. The article title had me very confused on what is so negative about aphantasia I never thought it was a hindrance in my life any way. Until the last quarter of the article it hit home with not really recalling or caring much about my past. For me it's not as dramatic as the lady who basically said when her kids are not with her they are out of her mind almost completely, but it does resonate on some level.

Woah is this true? Huh I always thought it was because kids under two most likely wouldn't keep them on and just would rip them off so there was no point in trying to enforce that rule on them.
