I wonder how many here are aphantasic.
" We were not too surprised by a second association: a small proportion of participants have described a diagnosis of autistic spectrum disorder (asd). Alterations in the ability to imagine have long been regarded as a key feature of asd, and visualisation is a key ingredient of imagination (though not an indispensable one, as we will see). "

Just thought I'd add to this though I doubt anyone will reply. Here is a small poll(so far) I've done at wrong planet.

The % with aphantasia is currently 21% which is significantly higher than the 2% found in the general population.
