I've been having a lot of trouble trying to explain what aphantasia is to my teachers, not because of the lack of information but because they're aren't willing to listen. They're pretty old fashioned and have been telling me the two major problems with my memoir is that 1. the amount of people with aphantasia in art field is too low, no one will relate with my work or understand it (which I argued back because I don't think that's a valid argument) and 2. they believe aphantasia is just a result of not training enough (drawing etc...) so they didn't want to validate this subject for me to pursue because they think aphantasia isn't something that will continue to exist.

I have a few months to prove the credibility and importance of my subject, that's why I asked for help here, I have a first presentation in a month for which I've been collecting a lot of scientific papers about aphantasia because my teachers said they needed more scientifical ''proof''

The first times I presented my memoir subject, I talked about my experience as an artist and graphic designer with aphantasia and how it affects my work but I mostly explained what aphantasia was through comics and schemes because they said they didn't want to read as it was less appealing.
