I first discovered aphantasia the year before last when listening to the BBC podcast 'Curious cases of Rutherford & Fry'. The episode is called 'The Case of the Blind Mind's Eye' in series 21 if you've not already come across it. I still didn't think at that point that I might have aphantasia. I was still under the the impression that 'visualising' is was just a figure of speech and didn't think much more of if until today. Like Maxine, I just listened to the BBC Radio 2 program about someone who has aphantasia. This time it clicked, I close my eyes and imagine something I don't see anything, only black. Do other people actually see images in their mind? Now, like Maxine, I need to go and annoy my work colleagues and ask them of the actually see things.
