It seems that I'm better at doing math in my head than most people. I've wondered whether that might be related to aphantasia.

That is interesting. I'm pretty excellent at math concepts in general (750 SATs in math once upon a time) but can't do arithmetic in my head to save my life. It wouldn't surprise me at all if there's a relationship there, especially for processes like multiplication or long division where you have to hold an intermediate result.
