For example, she sees vividly the potential of something more than the reality of it. She says her inner monologue is more like an inner "visualogue" because instead of hearing t...

Send us a text In this episode we discover how Lindsay Rice's mind's eye works using the Discovering Your Mind Protocol. Lindsay is a 3rd grade teacher / presenter with ADHD, autism, and aphantasia. We agree that this is kind of a weird subject to try and talk about and it's difficult to get anywhere concrete with trying to understand someone else's internal mind experience.

An Aphantastic Hodgepodge with Kristin Erickson Part 2
Send us a text In part 2 with Kristen Erickson she continues to boggle my mind because the way she describes her experiences really does sound like she can visualize to me. For example, her "imagination" or whatever it is, is in 3D. How can something that isn't there have dimension? And when we get into the other senses, it's just as confusing. However, when she talks about her dreams, it becomes more clear to me that although her aphantasia experience is wildly different than mine, she does ...
