For what it's worth, I'm ADHD and aphantasic, but none of the things talked about in that article really resonated with me

A lot of what it said resonated with my experience or my observations of my girlfriend (We are both aphants). Although aphants are definitely not immune to PTSD. Maybe resistant, but I know for sure that aphants can experience it.
