Hearing a song in your head isn't really a mental representation, though. Mental representations are different than hearing songs in your head.

Markus Hanke Posted January 9, 2023 Posted January 9, 2023 (edited) This thread is just bizarre, to be honest. I am autistic, and have been involved in the neurodivergence community for quite some time, both on a local and an international level. Aphantasia is a relatively common comorbidity for people on the spectrum; I personally know 3 (maybe 4) fellow autistic people who have this, and my social circle is by no means large. Even among the general neurotypical population, this isn’t rare - there has been a study conducted on this only a few months ago: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1053810021001690 Evidently, aphantasia and its opposite - hyperphantasia - are very much real. Claiming otherwise isn’t just ignoring the evidence, but - and that’s much worse - it is dismissing and invalidating the suffering and challenges of those who have it, because this has a very real impact on people’s lives.

The comorbidity isn't very much real, It's a very unexplained phenomenon and no one knows for sure that this phenomenon has evidence or not, It occurs very much in the stone age, that 100% of cave people didn't form mental images or formed invisible mental images or imagine without visualizing. I'm sorry if I said to you guys that the phenomenon isn't real, but it's very unexplained like Bigfoot that the phenomenon doesn't exist but not forming mental images isn't possible. but people who don't form mental images or forming invisible mental images still have imagination because most things in imagination are merely invisible like a imaginary friend.
