Jim is right, neurosurgeons don't do psychiatric or psychological evaluations. I think you doctor probably wants to know if you have other neurological...
Once when I was getting a whole battery of tests because of some memory issues, the neurologist was totally unsurprised when I mentioned face blindness. He...
Hi, I remember reading your note and may have replied. I am not entire sure what you mean and it is something that I have never thought about before or...
Another thought: Perhaps you could explain in more detail what you mean by "icon" recognition? And another: Perhaps, like so many people who don't realize...
I have trouble with certain symbols, particularly related to math. <> >< for example. I attribute this more to my dyscalculia, but perhaps there is a face ...
Vivian, I'm as car blind as I'm faceblind. At one time my neighbor had an off-white Honda and my son an off-white Ford (I think!). To me these two cars looked...
I suppose we never know what is attributable to paying attention and what isn't but, +I don't know what cars my friends drive and don't recognize their cars....
Hi! I was really helped by the book "Face Blind!", by Bill Choisser. I first read about the condition in a magazine article, but denied the condition, "It's...
Lucky I am not color blind too because when folks ask what kind of car I have I reply....white. My daughters is black, sons is white, and his girlfriends is...
I have always done very well with symbols and codes. The one exception is the more than and less than symbols in algebra. But, then I have always had trouble...
IT doesn't have to be a police line up at a station, but even at the scene recount to anyone including police. What for me is even worse is the idea that folks...
My scores were not poor enough to be considered face blind but were, for example, much worse than my daughter's and a friend's who also took the test. Just in...
Maybe you are technically face blind, but don't fit into the parameters of the test. Maybe in addition to being face blind, you are bad at tests. I usually...
A new study at the University of Minnesota is looking for children with face blindness. They have found two children and are looking for an additional 28 to ...
Hi Bonnie, I catagorize most stuff in the house that there are multiples of, and have a place for each to be stored. Lots of stuff are labeled. My clothes,...
I agree, I don't think that FB makes someone more likely to be attacked, it simply makes it harder to identify the assailant afterwards. Any perpetrator who is...
Actually, we are more likely than many to identify a masked assailant, since we use other factors in identification. It may not be the kind of id that stands...
Marcy, I do all of the same things. I attribute it partially to OCD, and partially to the fact that I need to 'see' things to remember where they are and...
Bonnie, I am in a similar place, with respect to Asperger's (which is soon to be swallowed into ASD/Autism Spectrum Disorder in DSMIV). I was identified in a ...
I tend to agree with Bonnie. I remember feeling that I did much better on the tests than I felt I 'should' have. I still scored well into the 'face blind' ...
... From: "Shae" <shaeleighland@...> ... Why would age be significant? I'm sure I'm an Aspie, too, but haven't been officially diagnosed. One other thing...
Actually this study isnt really anything "new". There are other researchers who are doing work with children. Many think prosopagnosia is related to some forms...
I find it hard to follow replies buried in original responses, visually, but I'll give this a go...hopefully I caught the places where I needed to respond. ...
... From: "daniel palmeri" <palmeridj@...> ... I have my doubts about that theory. I tend to have trouble maintaining eye contact with most people, but...
I disagree, also. One doesn't need eye contact to look at a face. I look at mouths, eyebrows. Many other people in the spectrum I've encountered have also said...
Those tests somehow miss some critical difference between photos and real faces. Maybe they should use video. People don't tend to stand there with their...
I agree with you, Daniel. My son with Asperger's is faceblind, but so is my husband and sister who are both faceblind but do not have any form of autism. I...
