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!

    So, I’m not diagnosed with ADHD, so while I identify with a lot of things people post on this community, I don’t know how helpful my contributions would be. I still live in a part of the world where neurodivergence is still thought of as a condition of suffering so not getting diagnosed (or checked) seems like the better option.

    Anyway, I’m baffled by people with aphantasia. A few of my family members claim to be like this. Personally if you tell me you don’t have six internal TV channels for your brain to constantly flip through over and over some part of me still thinks you’re pulling my leg. On top of a few radio stations full of familiar musical bits and pieces that I don’t know the name of and must find I must absolutely find where they come from wow I sure hope I don’t spend three hours on a Thursday night scrubbing through local playlists and listening/watching history and game soundtracks to find a six second earworm.
