I've had migraines with auras for about eight years now and occasionally migraineless auras. In fact, just had an aura which is how I found this article. I've never had aphasia, but I do get really easily confused and feel stupid or really slow. I also get the scintillating scioma (the sparkling lights - mine are like a blind spot made of iron pyrite) and the really scary part is that I get numbness starting at the fingers of one hand, then moving up the arm and half my face, stopping right at the middle. The first time that happened I was terrified I was having a stroke. My mom gets migraineless auras, so I wonder if that isn't genetic somehow. Interestingly, I don't get as much pain as most migraine sufferers, but I get really bad light and sound sensitivity.
