Amazing. I have Aphantasia, and I also happen to have a STEM college degree, have no autobiographical memory, and not remember people well. Oh and I also have an autism diagnosis.

In my opinion it's quite logical that someone who's not able to visualize things instead uses numbers and logical/mathematical constructs to describe them. It's one way to describe items by their core properties and attributes when image isn't available.
