    Wait, how do you get ranked for aphantasia? I did sure have it but have never had a name for it

      As I understand it it’s simply differing amounts of realism in one’s recall.

      I did discuss it briefly with my physician but he more or less shrugged it away as a novelty that can’t be helped. He showed me the chart on Wikipedia and mentioned the lack of information about it in general but also that there might be some overlap with autism.

      I have a feeling that it’ll be a while before it can be adequately explained.
