Aphantasia and ADHD AMA

People with aphantasia frequently reported a lack of awareness about their condition led to missed or incorrect diagnoses by providers. Importantly, those with aphantasia said therapy techniques involving visualizing images, especially in CBT, were ineffective for treating their mental illness compared to typical controls. Aphantasic shares experiences about mediation with aphantasia. Finding out I was aphantasic was a blessing for me. It gave me a kind of – subliminal permission – to free myself of the burden of visualization and explore other ways to meditate. Before the discovery of aphantasia, mental rotation was once thought of as a task that requires visualization. Yet, to the surprise of scientists, people with aphantasia can not only complete them, but according to one study, the aphantasic participant performed better at mental rotation tasks than their visualizer counterparts. If you’ve just discovered aphantasia and feel lost in understanding it, we made this Aphantasia Guide just for you. CREATED BY – Aphantasia Network Shoutouts : A big thank you to our community contributors , Neil Kimmelfield, Auri’An Lay, Liana M. Scott and Mike Swanson for their feedback on this aphantasia guide. 👋 Hi there, I’m Tom—founder of Aphantasia Network. In 2011, I stumbled upon a revelation that turned my world upside down: people can actually visualize images in their mind. Before this, I had no idea that when someone said "picture this," they were literally seeing images in their mind's eye. Discovering you have aphantasia often accompanies a complex mix of emotions, ranging from confusion and sadness to relief and a heightened sense of self-identity. This discovery can be a pivotal moment, leading to profound personal insights and a reevaluation of one’s cognitive experiences. How vivid is your mind’s eye? VVIQ, the Vividness of Visual Imagery Questionnaire, explores the vividness of your visual imagination. Future Thinking: Aphantasia affects future event visualization, leading to less detailed and vivid imagined scenarios. Mental Health and Aphantasia: Aphantasia may protect against emotional disorders related to distressing imagery, suggesting a link between imagery vividness and certain mental health risks, such as PTSD. The study finds that aphantasia is a condition involving a lack of mental imagery and not a lack of metacognition. 2019. Tom Ebeyer, one of the first 21 reported cases of congenital aphantasia mentioned in Zeman’s original paper, establishes the Aphantasia Network—a place to discover and learn about aphantasia and connect aphantasics globally. People with aphantasia frequently reported a lack of awareness about their condition led to missed or incorrect diagnoses by providers. Importantly, those with aphantasia said therapy techniques involving visualizing images, especially in CBT, were ineffective for treating their mental illness compared to typical controls.

2024.11.27 00:20 Hazardous24769 Aphantasia and ADHD AMA

I have Aphantasia and inattentive ADHD, ask me anything. I found that i tend to zone out alot, and with aphantasia, this creates some weird effects. Notably, if you ever saw the lego movie, its like a non visual similar thing to the master builder vision, where instead of seeing phantom stuff, i look at things and suddenly think of all that stuff. Or think of something instead of physically looking at it. This combination caused me to excel in mechanical/logical thinking and i suck at remembering specifics. (A better explanation, in school i hated history because i could never remember the dates, but was amazing at maths because i understood how numbers worked and drew my own patterns)

Hi, I’m a newer player to city of mist and I need some help coming up with some mythoi ideas. I have two ideas for the characters logos one of them being a a jock playing for his football team and the other logos being a really nerdy kid who’s obsessed with mythology and history. If anyone could help me come up with some mythois for either ones that would be awesome.

2024.11.27 00:20 waneerrr I loose the strength in my fingers after spike of emotions

Now let me elaborate, I've been experiencing this for as long as I can remember, it never really bothered me because that weakness in my fingers would usually go away after 2-5mins. This weakness would only appear when there was a sudden spike of emotions like embarrassment or when I told a joke and it made everyone laugh, it was never anger or sadness. The "weakness" would make me unable to write comprehensively and would make any kind of precise motion practically impossible. What does it all mean? Should I go with this to a doctor?

2024.11.27 00:20 dannonallred How are Shanghai Universities intensive language programs?

Hello,
Recently I’m been doing some research into taking intensive language classes (non-degree) in Shanghai and have found a few, but am not sure which is most effective/renowned. For reference, I’ve found these schools:
Fudan, Shanghai Jiaotong, East China Normal, Shanghai NYU, and Gangji Universities.
I will be entering the next fall semester likely working towards HSK4. How are these universities programs, and which should I gravitate towards? I’ve also considered enrolling in private schools for quicker learning, but they are far more expensive.
Thank you!

2024.11.27 00:20 Out_In_The_Tiles What to do as delegate of Venezuela in a crisis committee about the crisis in Venezuela?

I'm the delegate of Venezuela and the topic is "Venezuela: economic and humanitarian collapse"
Every other delegate is representing a country from the Americas, so I expect the delegations of Nicaragua, Honduras, the United States, Bolivia, Cuba, Peru, Colombia, and so forth.
The mission is to develop a new economic model and to solve human rights issues
I'm a bit clueless what to do, any help?

2024.11.27 00:20 MilkySkills Advice for new player

I’m a newer player I think level 17 and I can only play on weekends with a buddy. Recently we attempted Labs and I was able to extract once with not much of anything. Aside from that both of us died every other time and I’m just trying to get to the residential room or whatever it is. I know it’s a very competitive spot but I’m just wondering if it’s even going to be possible at our level.
