Here's my assessment (DRAFT). I'm using this to understand where I fall short, excel and what tools I can use differently to perform better. I suspect that multi-sensory Aphantasia also drive ADHD. A brain that is not 'entertained' by internal sensors (auditory, visual, etc.) is less active and will seek alternate strategies to stay active (in my case I day dream a lot). So staying in the present and locking in is critical. Let's see how a different work set-up can help. I built a sense-by-sense assessment comparing my internal experience to neurotypical baseline — rated 0–10 — then mapped blind spots and superpowers for each. Here's the short version: Fully offline (0–2/10): Visual imagery, phonological inner voice, smell, taste Partial (2–5/10): Auditory, tactile, spatial, episodic memory, organic/bodily Online (5–10/10): Kinesthetic movement, semantic self-monitoring, time, interoception, emotional/somatic Biggest blind spot: I can't pre-experience bad outcomes — no vivid anticipation of pain, failure, or danger. Makes me high risk tolerance but potentially blind to real warning signals. Biggest superpower: Emotion is my operating system. Everything routes through it. And my interoception (knowing how my body feels, etc.) is unusually sharp.
