I can see words in my head and hear sounds.... I can't intentionally visualize any pictures in my head at all.
I get flashback memories that are visual that flash for a second but I can never conjure them up, they are never intentional. And any creativity in visual memory is very rare for me and usually only in dreams - and once again it is never intended and purely accidental.
Normally I am even more limited with scents and tastes in memory. Like extremely limited.
Sound wise I can remember like whole songs note for note sometimes. Large songs. And when I try to visualize I just see text in my head along with the sound of my voice. I have inner subtitles. That is the extent of my visual memory 99.9999% of my time and I have no way of vetoing it
A neuropsychologist said I had symptoms of a head injury in visual and spacial areas of my brain... but a brain scan confirmed no damage whatsoever. She suggested I may have Asperger Syndrome or something similar. It was never tested and it is really awkward and difficult and requires travel and money and persistence for me to get it tested.
