... I'm not sure how "definitive" the testing is at this point, but there is testing. Unfortunately, it happens only (as far as I know) at a few large research...
Hi Dave, I know you may not want dual diagnoses - but then again, maybe you might. If so, here's a tidbit I didn't know till a few months ago: literally one ...

Here's a link for screening: <http://prosopagnosiaresearch.org/clinical-tests/index> Stanford and the University of London do research. ~Bonnie - - - - - - - -...
I just took that test and did much better than I should, given my level of real-world faceblindness. The thing is, I was able to exclude a bunch of the...
I put spoiler alert in the heading because if someone has not taken this test, I wouldn't want them to consciously try what I am saying. So if you haven't...

First of all, thank you everyone for your replies! They were all very helpful. I never knew there was such a thing as face blindness until recently but I...
I missed the original on this, sorry, but just wanted to say that my strength is in face recognition yet I don't do well on the tests. My son, husband, and...

What are the methods of compensation that you suggested to your son? ~Bonnie - - - - - - - - I'll just add that identifying faceblindness in my son at a fairly...
Zusia, Yes, I would love to know some of the way your son has compensated. I know it is common for AS to be missed. That's why I took him to Kennedy Krieger...

Couples and people I have known who move in with another family (be they relatives or friends) think it will be an enlarged family, but the host family feel...
