I'd read about this before but didn't get such good detail. I do have this condition and learning this has caused an epiphany. I never knew that the minds eye was actually supposed to produce images. All I've ever seen was darkness with a vague knowledge of what I should be imagining based on descriptions.
Never heard of this. I'm the opposite of you. I see things as images. Just this weekend we went to a camp near Nachitoches for the first time. My wife asked me if I need the printed directions or Siri. I told her I think I can get there because I studied the map. I'm not good at remembering all of the road names, but can picture the turns and road changes.
Same with the NY subway maps. I know the routes better by their color than their number.
I'm also a graphic designer/illustrator, which makes sense. Not to this extreme degree, but I can relate to Temple Grandin in how I see things. Really good movie, BTW:
