My mom gained aphantasia from (we believe) years of undetected epilepsy and TBIs. She loses her things constantly. I have no idea if the two are related in her case. She also has really bad ADHD and the part of her brain that turns what she wants to say into actual sounds is fucked up so she stutters and forgets words and just replaces things with “Thingy”

It’s fascinating to be honest. The stutter and word forgetting thing started after a horse riding accident. It’s okay, though, because she proved she can be a rodeo champ. She stayed on for over 8 seconds. (My mom always mentions the rodeo champ part to lighten the story a bit)
