I interact with abstract arguments but can’t rotate an apple in my head because of aphantasia. I can easily handle the concept of rotating an apple though.
Funny enough, my ability to estimate how three dimensional objects fit into real space is really good despite not being able to visualize it.
Also read a lot, but had concepts and not images. Like a car in a story might remind me of a car I had interacted with even if I couldn’t picture it. Like a sports car feels fast and nimble even if I can’t picture the curves. Maybe it is rounded or has sharp angles on that model, but I can’t picture the actual curves or angles.

This is crazy to me. I would have gone insane as a child if I couldn’t have imagined badass scenarios in my head when I was bored.
I drew a lot and made physical things!
