In early 2013, Ross left Facebook to pursue other interests. Ross suffers from aphantasia, a rare condition preventing a person from visualizing things in their mind. Ross wrote about his experience in a blog post. I have never visualized anything in my entire life. I can’t “see” my father’s face or a bouncing blue ball, my childhood bedroom or the run I went on ten minutes ago. I thought “counting sheep” was a metaphor. I’m 30 years old and I never knew a human could do any of this.
