This is almost exactly my same experience. I have been struggling to understand exactly how I'm supposed to be visualizing things during these questionnaires and experiments. I can picture a ball and a table and a human form rolling the ball off the table. They are average sized and shapes, but the details are not specific unless I choose to make them specific. When trying to visualize, "a sunrise" I can vividly see the sky and the colors and the clouds and the shadows, but what does the ground look like? I have to make a conscious choice, that component isn't just "there." And I can refer to visual memories, no problem. An apple? I can clearly see the last apple I saw. When I read, I can easily see the scenes as they're being described. If there isn't much description, I think how I'm imagining things is more conceptual. If something is described, I have it, if details are left out, then my brain allows the vagueness. Faces are the worst - I kinda skip that part? Not that I picture them faceless, but I don't have locked down details to picture consistently through seeing other scenes. But I keep the character description going, like, they're consistently the same build with the same hair and I can picture those characters in action. Not sure. I guess I'm on the spectrum.
