It seems like you have had a visual memory in the past, as it seems you know what it is you are missing. I have had it since I can recall. The struggle for me is getting others to accept I'm unable to see the world the way they do. Recalling events in the past for me as well is better than my partner that does not have Aphantasia.  I wouldn't even call it dark but an "absence of" and quiet. My meditations are refreshing; there are many forms of it, explore other types. See what is best for you. 

Interesting way of putting it. It's more like conceptual events, personality, how things flowed in events, and mannerisms for me than names. Names are difficult. 

Having it, and working on making people aware since I was young, was difficult, as never had the words to advise people about it.  I also cannot recall physical touch, smell, taste, or hear inner monolog in my mind. 

I’ve always had it, born with it, so take this only from my discussion and research with others. Yes, trauma, surgeries, and calcification of your pineal gland can cause it. On the last one, the Pineal gland not functioning correctly has been linked to Aphantasia. Based on research, fluoride in drinking water or ingesting fluoride; can get into your pineal gland and cause calcification. Your great white teeth may come at a cost if you use fluoride. 

I have personal training. I grew up with it and learned many ways of coping with a visual learning environment. I have been for some myself, but haven't found much, but people tell me how they coped with it.  For me, analogies work best. Physics and mathematics were easy because they don't live in the physical plane. I have also found that everything has core structures that may share similar parts with other fields of existence.  Thank you for what you do, I wish the best of luck to you and your students. Anything I can assist with feel free to message me or email me at [email protected].

I have lived with this condition all my life. Thinking others were making things up, when they said, "Picture this...". I would simply put it in analogy format, this would make it easier to not only comprehend but to others understand where I came from. The sciences were actually my stronger subjects throughout my academic time.
