158 Image Free Thinking - Aphantasia and Learning with TJ [Nigh Functioning Autism]

from Non Linear Learning - Rethinking Education for Neurodivergent Learners · host Dr. Vaish Sarathy

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.
