Being the child of silent generation parents and way older siblings I was just the weird kid. Always being told there was something wrong with me but never did anything about it. Once I got older I was just called quirky and uncle nutsy by my nieces and nephews. I first found out I have aphantasia and anendophasia only 3-4 years ago and reading all the younger folks stuff on reddit and here I figured maybe that is why I was the way I was. Asked my wife and doctor and they said well yes of course you are on the spectrum.
The hell if I know. Not a clue. It is my biggest question about them. I do think as I am typing and responding to you and all the other stuff I do but it is just there.
I kind of equate it to having a filing cabinet. And in that filing cabinet are tons of folders and I just refer to each one of them even though I don’t see them or know what’s in them. Both aphantasia and anendophasia are relatively new in their research. Some of it I read makes sense a lot does not.

So if you don’t think in words and also not in images… How do you think? I’m curious because I can’t imagine thinking without either of those.
