I recently discovered that I have Aphantasia.

What is aphantasia!
There are various sorts, the main one of interest is the inability to create a mental image.

When you have trouble getting to sleep people will say "count sheep" in other words imagine sheep jumping over a style. I can't do that, well not with minds eye images.

Other versions are not being able to hear a song or music in your head.

And a version which has only recently come to my attention, the memory of eating food, of remembering the taste, the texture. This was the worst Discovery for me, the knowledge that I don't have that ability.

This is related to Aphantasia in that there is a disconnect between memories of your childhood and other things, events and the like.

Might also explain the apparent disconnect from reality I've seen in some of your posts here.
 
Reality is overrated, G.
 
the apparent disconnect from reality
Actually the way I understand it, some people who are able to run the equivalent of YouTube videos in the heads have a problem in differentiating between what they see in their mind's eye and reality. There must be a lot of people with this problem in the Biden administration!
 
The problem in the Biden administration is Biden.

The administration and their accomplices in the press are running the show, Biden is just a tool to push the party line.
