Gosh, Savanah, I have the exact same experience as you. But what's surprising to me is that I never questioned it. It never ever crossed my mind this was an "impairment" — I thought everyone was the same. I do know this is not an impairment, but honestly it is feeling like one ever since I learned about it and did the test yesterday. I was so shocked I cried over what I now know I'm missing. Blackness is the word. There are no outlines, no nothing. Just the idea, the feeling, the thought or the memory of that sunset or a friend's face. I never understood when people said "The details of their face is starting to fade in my mind". I thought it was just something people said, but now I realize people can actually visualize faces with closed eyes. Right now I can only see the drawbacks of aphantasia. As a designer I feel I am missing a lot. How do you feel about it, Savanah, being an artist yourself?
