If you don’t mind me asking, are you good at math or arithmetic? I was in remedial courses until I got to geometry. Still awful at splitting a check but I can see the shape of a function better than most (something that wasn’t useful until later courses). I’m very curious how math works for someone with aphantasia! It just seems like it’s the exact opposite of how I’m wired and that’s fascinating.
I was always naturally good at algebra and stuff. I was frequently ahead of my class, got special classwork from at a couple teachers to keep me occupied, and was one of a handful put in a pre-calc course in highschool. I did well at chemistry (except naming in ochem). I did poorly at geometry and biology which were both heavy on visuals and memorization. I was hit-or-miss in history because I could memorize the stuff I actually found interesting, at least.

Thanks, I was just curious. It’s amazing all the different ways brains can go through the same world!
