Abstract:
For people with aphantasia, the ability to form mental images is absent or markedly impaired. In this article, we define aphantasia and explore the links between mental imagery and autism spectrum disorder. Through our clinical experiences, we highlight the repercussions the impact of aphantasia on autism spectrum disorder functioning, share the specific challenges we face in psychotherapy and propose therapeutic approaches.
