At least 5% of autistic adults may have Aphantasia - image free thinking. This number may be higher for non-speaking kids, especially with ocular apraxia. Is this a learning disability?
TJ, the creator of the popular social media account - nigh.functioning.autism, discusses their experience with visualization and image-free thinking.
Here are some key takeaways:
- Visualization and image-free thinking can vary among individuals, with some processing thoughts in text rather than mental images.
- Presuming competence and adapting teaching methods to individual students is crucial for effective learning.
- Multimodal learning, incorporating movement, touch, visuals, and music, can enhance learning and memory.
