Hi Marcy, I hope your treatment is going well, will be very successful, and that you are not having difficulty with side effects. I enjoy reading your posts...
Ah, Marcy, you do have interesting thoughts! I was unaware that I had any difficulties recognizing people (just poor normal) until I was grown, out of college,...
Great article! I got an email from one of the researchers some time ago asking about other members of my family--for looking at genetic components. My siblings...
Brian, this was fantastic! I loved it! There is endless material as you can tell from your own experience and this site. I don't know how much you share with...
I had an experience on this group where I was using an expression such as "young girl" meaning that the person was under 35--young to me--and people thought...
Hi everyone. I was telling my friend about how I can't recognize faces and she sent me a link to a website that led me here. :-) I'm in my early twenties and...
I do not see a gray blur, I simply do not remember seeing their faces. I remember a friend being in a dream becasue I hear their voice next to me. As if we...
Hi John. My main coping strategy, which I can recommend even to people who are not faceblind, is seeing beyond the face. In retrospect, I think I developed...
I am mildly face blind. I also have issues/problems with remembering left from right, and also get lost easily. That said I am very good following a detailed...
I am very much like you but that I don't recall smelling fragrances. I do think,though, that I dream in color. The person is always there, and I see part of...
Hi, Regarding your post, I am also face blind from birth. From very young I remember friends of my parents saying to them : your son is not well educated : we...
I have never had a problem with empathy from the very beginning. I have, though, really loved books too. I am not sure fictional books portray real life...
John, my primary coping strategy is simply trying to use other clues to identify a person. Obviously, this is a limited strategy...but it's all that I have. I...
On the topic of other neurological symptoms, does anyone else experience certain sounds (usually high pitch, but sometimes low rumbles) as pain? When a car...
YES!!!!!! I know exactly what you mean! I am very sensitive to sound. I also hear things like dog whistles. I think my range of hearing is broader than most...
Look up hyperacusis. This is what I've had on and off for years, and it does get worse with stress. It's common in Asperger's. ... From: Deena Larsen...
Sound as pain is Synesthesia. Its where senses cross where you hear a noise or smell an odor or see a certain color can cause pain. ... From: zusia@......
Not quite...synesthesia isn't really about pain. It is about cross-connection of senses, like you smell a color or hear a scent. Pain is usually not involved....
Synesthesia is a wee bit different than sound as pain. Synesthesia does occur when the senses cross, but presents more as seeing sound, or attaching color...
I think it's important not to assume a link between prosopagnosia and anything else. Most of what ails most people is environmental. The rise in incidence of...
Thank you, Gail. What you describe is what I came to know as the "gift" of PA. Knowing the persons' story, rather than just the face. When I was teaching and...
I am curious about the circumstances of TA. I travel alot and there are some places where I can't find my ass with both hands in the daylight. In other places...
Synesthesia is the crossing between any senses. the "classical" form is attaching colors to numbers or letters but it also attaches pain and discomfort to...
I think the word 'association' has different connotations to different people. The fact is, people with PA very OFTEN do have other conditions...whether there...
Some research has shown that synesthesia links hearing music or noise to causing headaches and migraines. ... From: Shae <shaeleighland@...> Subject: Re:...
