I'm 62 and just discovered I had this

Aphantasia is when your brain doesn’t form or use mental images as part of your thinking or imagination. Experts don’t define aphantasia as a medical condition, disorder or disability. Instead, it’s a characteristic, much like which hand you naturally use to write.

I mean I’ve had it all along but wasn’t aware of anything being amiss such as this.

I was taken to see that movie in the theater as a kid with my sisters. Just awful. Boring as hell.

If I were you, I’d get a second opinion.

I have total aphantasia - images,sounds,smells taste, and touch

Found out pretty recently I might have a mild form of Synesthesia. Synesthesia is when you hear music, but you see shapes. Or you hear a word or a name and instantly see a color. Synesthesiais a fancy name for when you experience one of your senses through another. As a musician I’ve always thought about music in terms of patterns rather than sounds. Not sure if that counts or not.
