As a neurodivergent who has aphantasia and can't visualize, not like this at all. For me it's more like, what I need is there when I need it (usually), not in a visual sense but a conceptual sense.
Yeah same. I just have a conscious mind that's supported by my unconscious.
There's not really different parts of my consciousness, just a spark of awareness, focused on one thing at a time.
I wonder if this has something to do with monotropism.
Oh goddamnit not another one! I always just labeled that quirk as a symptom of my ADHD lol
