Yes 100%.

There is no undercurrent or symbolism, just read the email as written please.

I became aphantasic at ~15 and spent years after interfacing with non tech people over the phone and email.

In English it's so damn hard to be precise compared to languages like Portuguese.

Also, LLMs blather so fucking much context is impossible to track wtf they are even writing about.

I’m curious about your statement that you “became” aphantasic. Any specific triggering event, or how did you realize this?

AFAIK aphantasia hasn’t been super widely known about until the last decade or two (obv I have no idea how old you are now)

I've never heard of becoming aphantasic, how did that happen?
