Some of it sounds like me, but I’d say not enough to self-diagnose with dyspraxia (like 3 points of that list partially). What sounds more like me is good old aphantasia, it even has a few symptoms in common with dyspraxia.
Same, or at least I can’t “hold onto” anything I try to visualize. I can manage a brief flash of a vague image. I wonder if it’s related to my near complete inability to recognize faces.
Well, considering most people look the same or very similar to me, I’d say yes, it’s related.
The condition is called aphantasia, in case you didn’t know and want to read more, but not much is known about it.
Edit: Another thing I realized sometime last year is that I have trouble remembering where I left things, constantly looking for something. Turns out people usually visualise where they left stuff.
Sorry to hear that, that must suck, I at least occasionally dream visually. One “funny” episode that ties to that: Recently I was in a half-asleep state and saw some visual stuff in my mind and I was so excited that my aphantasia fixed itself just like that and that excitement woke me up and I realized what happened.
Being able to visualize anything in my mind. Salty as fuck about it.
Have you looked into dyspraxia? It can be a sign of it. I have it and can’t visualise for shit.

Same. I can barely even dream, something most aphantasiacs can at least do regularly.
