    Since learning about it I have been trying to gain the skill. Attempting to create a cube or circle in my head and such. When I imagine things, it’s more like a list of details, not pictures. Sort of jealous of visualization, but I have above average memory due to qualifying everything. We are weird apes.

      I can visualize vividly and can create intricate details in imagined spaces, but my recall is average of real spaces. Like, I can walk myself in my head down to the street from where I am in my office, but I won’t be able to tell you how many steps are in the three flight of stairs. It’s not really a skill, tbh, and pretty useless. I think there are advantages to both types of neurotypes though. Sometimes I can’t picture my face well, but that’s more trauma related I think 😅
