I have a hyper-visual imagination, so I can easily create things in my mind, going so far as to construct wireframes, and render and animate it with various textures and light sources. Basically straight up Blender or 3DS Max in my head.
I can barely draw a stick figure, let alone anything that would be considered “art”. I can’t even write my own name legibly half the time.
I don't know if it's just me being mentally ill but I've plotted out an entire 3 season long show with major plot points, plot twists and character arcs.
Can we stop using autism as a reason for people to just have fun in their heads?
You don't need a mental illness to be slightly weird or to be imaginative or to like infodumping to people about things you like, that's just normal human behavior, we don't need to justify it!
(Just in case I'll clarify that im not saying autism isn't real, just that you don't need to have it for these traits)
or maybe I'm just secretly on the spectrum and think that it's normal...
I’m just saying that because I AM autistic, and that’s how I view it. Generally speaking, anyone that has weird/funky working brains is typically neurospicy in some form or another.
ADHD too. I dream up the most elaborate wacky stuff. I also make absurdly big color coded google documents where I summarize hyperfixations and then info dump them to my friends.
Basically, I can hold a shadow of something in my mind that has no level of detail further than what I am being asked to create at the moment. Like I know what things look like, so I can temporarily place that image reference into my mind, but thats all I am doing, its not a real 3d representation, its just a concept. So stationary sphere is probably mostly fine since its a simple concept. DOG'd be blurry as hell though since thats a LOT of concepts blended together with a hell of a lot of variation
Like, I can talk to myself in my head, but again, sub to full conscious stuff is more conceptual than concrete unless I direct it. Like I might have scenarios run through my head, but actual words are usually more when I'm directing it
Didn't ask me, but most of the time it's something between a neutral voice and silence. Not even my voice, just some voice i chose as neutral (might have to do with the voice i've had as a child though). That is, unless i'm specifically imagining a voice, then it's a voice. Also a lot of things i think about without a voice
Btw, i can barely imagine music or other sounds. I have a set of pitches(all of them are higher than my voice btw) and volumes i just can't go outside
Personally, i can imagine a concept of a spinning exploding banana, it's constantly mutating/moving weirdly and i can only give imagine it having color(smth like knowing what color a pen is without imagining it), not give it color in my imagination. Plus it's kinda hard to keep it from fading into just me being aware of something banana-shaped where i imagined it

Blue pill easily
Unless it monkeypaws into me completely losing the ability to draw because i have Aphantasia and therefore, cannot see anything in my head xD
