    I do too, and I didn’t know it was different for others until I was an adult. When I was young they used to guilt trip me for wasting my intelligence because I hated books.

    I grew up inspired by creative world building shown in movies like LOTR and in games. I read more than most people, but it’s never books.

    I hate how so many people fail to consider others might not have the same perspective or needs.

      I get as much enjoyment from technical books that I read for career and personal reasons as I do fiction, so I usually read non fiction as it at least has a purpose for me. I wonder how much is related to my not being able to visualize anything.
