I'm an artist with aphantasia that requires a real-life or image example to draw from (except when I have blended acrylic paint to resemble the beauty of the sky). Before I knew what aphantasia was, I always thought my need to have a reference to create was nothing more than recreating and not original, creative work... I no longer feel that way but I remember being hard on myself because I needed a reference to create. So glad to hear I'm not alone!

I wonder what kind of landscape would be crafted if marketing was intentionally created to attract neurodivergent, if it's possible.

How so?

Me too. I was just telling someone today that AI has been instrumental in helping me work out problems, ask questions and receive guidance, etc. side note My friend is concerned about AI and it's impact on the environment, to which I say AI will be the reason big tech finally figures out a way to make energy free for all.. I'm a wishful thinker. If it wasn't for ai I wouldn't have found this website tonight, true story.

I can relate to this whole message. Sometimes right before I drift to sleep, I too get hazy like glimpses of subtle movement of bodies, like different scenes from random movies flashing through but very vaguely and whimsy. I think these were possibly just the beginnings of dreams though. There have been other times in which I specifically intended to meditate and visualise, and during these few times I can conjure very simple shapes. I see first a triangle, then a circle imposed upon that, & then either the star of David or a pentacle, but that's as far as I get.

I sing a melody to remember things.
