I am often rehearsing conversations, speeches, etc - the inner voice in my head talks and talks most of the time, except when I am visualising schematic diagrams I guess. I often imagine talking to an invisible audience, or continue (in my head) a conversation that I had in real life (say, the day before). After visiting my psychologist, I might think further about all the things I could add or expand on what I said during the session - not "Oh, no! I should have said that!" but just rehearsing additional material, trying out different things, just to see. That might go on, at varying times of day when my mind is relaxed, for several days until some other mental topic takes over. I often imagine giving a talk on autism, for example, especially when I am out walking by myself and my brain is relaxed and just rambling on with whatever it pleases (usually special interests).
I am the same way.
I have really enjoyed reading this thread and seeing others explain some of the thing I struggle to.
I also think in moving pictures, images, concepts, and models. I have no problem at all mentally walking through any building I have been through in the last 10 years or so.
I also often occupy myself by mentally creating a very vividly detailed 3D model of something related to my special interest. An engine perhaps, and envisioning all of the various parts as they move throughout their cycles.
