8. when I was in college

I was chatting with a professor and he told me how when he was in school and taking a test, he could, in his mind, open up the text book and find the page with the answer to the question... I know that is the other extreme, but for years I realized I could not "visualize" things and wondered if I was alone in this... it does make me sad... I realize they do not consider this a disorder but I feel at a real disadvantage... sort of like missing an appendage

obviously, I have done ok without the "visualization" but still makes me sad
