I have aphantasia, I see nothing, and one more that gets people, I have no head voice/inner monologue.

Is there a community for aphantasia? I wonder if there are any mechanical engineers with it.

I have the ability to not only see designs in my head, but also how they will physically interact and I use that all the time. Without it, I wouldn't be designing.

I'm not sure if there is or not tbh?

But that sure sounds like a sweet version of the ability!!!
