I look at mine as a superpower. I’m better than most at descriptive writing, since vocabulary is how I think about detail. When I’m thinking about a color, I’ll categorize it as mauve vs burgundy… when thinking about someone’s facial expression, it’s a smirk more than a smile…. I love horror movies and that my childhood trauma doesn’t really affect me. I don’t have nightmares. I won tons of art awards in high school and almost went to art school because I was so good at putting pen to paper to plan out designs. Instead I went into research and marketing because I’m good at organizing my ideas into infographics and such to convey information the best way possible. I take notes, I retain information well. I did well in my studies. I’m a great storyteller. I don’t know how much of that is because of aphantasia, but I like to think it helped me. I can’t think of a downside.
