I was 41, I stumbled across a post on r/aphantasia....I read a bit and it hit me like a brick to the face.....WTAF people can "see" shit in their minds.
I asked my partner, she said no those sayings are not just metaphors. 5 minutes later another brick to the face, apparently "getting a song stuck in your head" means you'll basically listen to a song in your mind on repeat...
It has been 2 years, nothing really changed externally. It did help a lot with me understanding my own thought processes. I suspect I have some SDAM also, I don't really remember my childhood without something to prompt the memory, nothing ever "just pops into my head" from back then.
