The paper I mentioned in another toot also said that (autistic) people with malfunctioning autobiographical memory have trouble picturing both past and future.
It made me realize that I've never really thought about future. It's abstract to me. I can think about future in terms of upcoming events, or by preparing things for teaching or presentations, for instance. I've also had daydreams or plans about what I want to do. However, I rarely, if ever, actually think about it.
"Where do you see yourself in five years?" seems such an odd question to me. I can picture myself doing exactly the same things five years from now but that's not what the question is about, isn't it?
