Over the past few years I have learned a lot about autism and other ND characteristics and comorbids. I like myself the way I am, as far as I know about the situation.
What I have gradually come to realize is that most people actually have visual images in their brain. Or at least this is how I have interpreted it. My husband says, for example, that if he thinks of his mother, he can see her in his mind, exactly as she is in real life. He can visualize things in his brain.
I know that I have read that people can "see" things in their minds, but I always thought that was a literary convention, not that anyone could actually visualize and literally seeing it in their brain.
My brain has nothing. Just black. Period.
And that makes me sad, to think I have missed out on all these visual images and lack the ability to run these images through my mind.
It's not the end of the world. Just a bit sad.
