There were some recent studies that early childhood trauma can cause it, which would explain why I suffer from aphantasia. Or I'm "lucky" to just inherit the bad genes.

And funny enough, my partner also has hyperphantasia.

A random thought, one thing that recently occurred to me, I often forget were I've placed things, that's because usually people just picture where they've seen them. At least my partner does that.

Fascinating. I do have a lot of childhood trauma, though I wouldn't consider it "early" childhood. And I do misplace things often, though that might be more due to ADHD or my general scatterbrained forgetfulness.
