I can visualize vividly and can create intricate details in imagined spaces, but my recall is average of real spaces. Like, I can walk myself in my head down to the street from where I am in my office, but I won’t be able to tell you how many steps are in the three flight of stairs. It’s not really a skill, tbh, and pretty useless. I think there are advantages to both types of neurotypes though. Sometimes I can’t picture my face well, but that’s more trauma related I think 😅
