I’m currently not sure if I have aphantasia or not.
I don’t remember the number of windows in my house, and I’m currently not in or near my house, but no problem — I simply wander through my house in my mind, and count the windows: 9.
So I cannot have aphantasia, right? How can I “visually” count the windows in my house without the capability to “see” in my mind?
But all those tests? I never really “see” that darn apple, at least not in the way that “awake-plus-photons” seeing works for me. Not even close. It’s more like seeing conceptually, or in the abstract.
Plus, I can relate to your comment. Maybe I have a focus problem, not an aphantasia problem?
But I can plan, design, and implement really complex software systems, so I cannot have a focus problem, right?
