That is insanely fascinating! And it’s super cool to me that you found ways to work with it, to the point where you didn’t even notice you had it! Ever since I learned about this a few years ago, I’ve been wondering if a childhood friend had it. She always had to draw or find pictures of things before she could decide if she liked how they look. One time we had to pick a flower that we liked from a provided list of flowers. We’d all seen them before (common flowers to our residence), but she had to look up each one in a book, before she knew which one she liked. I was describing them to her, so she wouldn’t have to look them up, and she knew that this was the red one that grows outside the school and that one was the blue one that grows in the park and so on, and she still had to look them up. After your comment, I’m almost positive she had it and no one knew. The human mind is fascinating!
Yeah definitely possible. When i learned about it i ran to my wife of over a decade and asked her if she can see things in her head. She thought it was a silly question and goes on to tell me when she reads books it’s like a whole movie in her head and i told her for me it’s just words in a book lol.

How did that change the way you view the world, in general or specifically on something?
