Thank you! I am also an ASL interpreter. I've been at if for about 25 years now and you are the first person I've see talk about aphantasia and ASL. I do very well with things I have seen before but struggle with the visually unfamiliar. If someone tries to describe something such as a kitchen or garden remodel I have to ask for a picture because I just can't "imagine" it. Like you I have a better than average grasp of English (both my parents were English teachers). I consider myself to be a good interpreter, above average but not gifted. Thank you again for writing this.
