Exploring blind imagination.

There has been talk of this being more common in people on the autism spectrum .
Thanks Firemonkey. This is something that's been on my mind a bit lately, since my aphantasia has been tangentially connected to a couple of topics here recently. I'm not sure I want to get involved in another forum, but there are certainly some enlightening articles there. I was particularly intrigued by an article on 3D mental rotation tasks, one of the conclusions of which was; "people with aphantasia may be able to form visual images, but don’t have conscious access to them." - almost word for word the same as my personal hypothesis which I mentioned here only a couple of days ago; maybe I'm not quite as crazy as I think I am sometimes!
I tried the rotation tests here https://discovermyprofile.com/tag/Intelligence . I scored 30/117 = 25.64% . I've come across quite a few people with aphantasia who say they are good at mental rotation tasks .
I got 18/27 on this one: planning.e-psychometrics.com/.../spatial3d
