    I was a 5 before my head injury, now I think I’m a 3 if I close my eye and really focus on it.

    But also? I’ve liked adult literature the entire time. “Visualization” is overrated.

      Wow, care to tell more about what that was like? I’m aphantasic, and the idea of suddenly unlocking the ability to visualize is fascinating to me.

        I couldn’t visualize even slightly before! Total aphantasia.

        Now if I focus really hard I can briefly see images and memories. It still doesn’t come naturally but the difference is staggering.
