Getting lost
1 min readByShari Morehouse
I have just discovered aphantasia and I’m quite sure I have it along with SDAM. I’ve always had a problem with getting lost. My explanation has always been that. I can’t hold a map in my head. I don’t visually see the route in my mind. I think this might be a combination of both not being able to see it plus not being able to remember it. Although routes do become familiar enough that I can generally find my way home although it has happened that I’ve missed my turnoff . I’ve had this issue ever since I was a kid (I am 68 now ) when I could get lost in a big building if I forgot which doorway I came in. I am wondering if this happens to anybody else and if I’m right in thinking that this is the reason why I get lost so easily.
