Yeah I also can do this easily. But if you really piush me on the granularity of my mental "image" it's not that visual. I feel like we are missing axes on how to evaluate internal thinking.

It's weird. And I'm not knowledgeable enough to give precise scientific answer. But I'd describe as I can do these rotations. But then if you ask me to describe the shape precisely I realize it was lower resolution

For me, I can see the red star really clearly. As I add more shapes I start to lose definition. I can see a circle inside a square easily but if you put a star inside the circle I need to start "tracing". There's a better way to describe this activity. When the images...

Get complex the image goes dark for me but I get a spotlight. I can put the spotlight on images on parts of the images to see those parts clearly. I think this happens because non-autistic eidectics have a limit to our working memory, i.e. the number of numbers you can remember.

a portrait of the autist as a 30-something @mykolaAlso related to this I suspect is aphantasia! I can't, generally, form mental images. If I really make an effort I can imagine a static snapshot with a few details, but it starts to fade immediately. Rather I seem to think in terms of like a concept graph - I remember the system.Show this thread2 replies 0 retweets 4 likes
Interesting. Reading that made me consider the possibility that I am autistic.
