A better way to explain to other people

Whenever I tell people I have aphantasia, SDAM, their first question is who told you? I feel I have no answer to this question, what can I say? I told myself? I did a few times and the topic came back to the problems of self-diagnosis and that I should not do this, now it's a situation where I can't tell people why I am being like this and if I tell them it's them saying you are just self-diagnosing. A weird territory that can be only helped if I went to therapy I guess, sometimes even I think to myself do I even have it since I don't know if normal people when imagining do imagine an apple like I do behind a screen which I can not see but I know it is there or if they also live in the present moment entirely like or even if I live in the present moment and I am just saying it because it sounds good.
