Can people with aphantasia have adhd ? Just a thought i had. I still am baffled it’s even possible for someone not to have a “minds eye” but science says its true!

I think i count, I cant just see things that aren’t there. I can contextualise them, I have an awareness of what a pink fluffy elephant jumping the mcdonalds m on a skateboard, but I can’t see it the way I can hear a song in my head or the internal monologue.
I can make the visual imagination work by riding the line between sleep and wake in bed, and its fucking awesome. Im so so jealous of people who can just do it whenever.
I have Aphantasia and ADHD, and I can confirm that the sleep/wake boundary allows for some startling visualizations.
Apparently it is a different visualizing scheme that dreaming uses, so practicing visualizing in that half-asleep state doesn’t strengthen the bit that is used while awake.
