Yes! Been eager to hear more about hyperphantasia! Only learned about aphantasia this year, and like Caitlin is saying: okay I have the opposite of that in full Technicolor, music score, advance trailer marketing, behind the scenes drama ensemble cast level when I see "the apple" 🤣

It gave me so much more grace for all the times people have looked at me and said "I have no idea what you're talking about", much like realizing colorblindness or even being a lefty... (I'm neither but approachable cultural differences)

I thought I was just ADHD all over the place, but I have the cohesion and can stick to point, it's just well, my point is an interrobang not a period 😆

I started to realise that this was not the norm when I listened to Positive Disintegration Podcast and Chris was talking about their "imaginal world" but I've never talked about it with Chris so I'm not sure if it's the same experience but yeah it's pretty cool!

My sense is that it overlaps because OE, but imagination can show up in so many different ways! I'm interested to ping Chris about it, but also wanna leave them alone knowing how busy things are with the move!

I'd love to chat about it with Chris too! I have a feeling they wouldn't mind 😆 I guess I'll say that I never turn down an opportunity to talk about a special interest!
