Hi I'm new here. My 3 1/2 yr old son has prosopagnosia and visual object agnosia due to illness as a baby. Does anyone here suffer from object / shape...
I have no problem reading (spelling's a different matter, but there's now spellcheck for that), and in fact was reading before my older brother. I would...
I agree that your son's brain has a lot of development before you make a definite judgment about his ability. I mean this is all going to take time. Serious...
For me, I have trouble telling cars apart, but then, I have never been interested in cars enough, as maybe a male might be, to learn anything about them. I...
I have always, even as a child, been an advid reader. IT was how we passed a lot of our time in my home. Six books a week from the Library. That said, I have...

Thank you all for your encouragement. We actually spend approx 90% of our time (we have other children who need SOME time too!) working on teaching him,...
Hello. My name it Tj (that's what most people call me). I am a 24 yr old uni student. I am, of course new to this board, and to prosapagnosia as an idea....
Looking for this one: http://prosopagnosiaresearch.org/clinical-tests ? As opposed to famous person test: http://www.faceblind.org/facetests/index.php -ib Joe ...
Possibly you are recognizing facial expressions that are emotional and intent based. In this way when two folks that are similar in personality or actions are...
Well, I am not quite sure what you are trying to describe. What do you mean by "the information is related to personality"? Maybe you are talking about ...
With all gentleness I tell you that pictures of objects that your son can't identify is the same as speaking to him in a language he does not speak. It is a...
Tj The proper analogy with trying to recognize a face is that face blind people tend to scramble to words of a sentence..each word you recognize but when...
at 3 1/2? what should he know? Make sure you have a safety word, and let him know that only people he should trust, "mommy approved" if you will, will use...
Yeah, you groove essence, aura, the being of the person. You're more in tune to emotional content than anything else. That's fine. Use it. I do fine with...
Ty for all the replies guys, I am going to reply post by post, i hope that is OK. @Marcy: Yea I thought about that, and that seems to make the most sense, that...
I am not sure myself about the exact meaning of that. All I can tell is what I have gathered by comparing all the people I have seen, who I think would look...
My faviorate story about this regards one of my roomates. Way back after I had met him a couple of times with common friends, when he moved in to live with us...
I am not in the medical field so my understanding of these topics are limited. Still, reading your account I can't help but think about my dog. He seems to be...
someone else on the board has a really good example...I cant recell it now. But its a great example to use. ... From: TEJAS <tj.physicist@...> Subject:...
Thanks. I hadn't seen that one before but liked it even better. I am a bit confused though. It said that I got 50% right. Then it said that if I had been...
33% would be the number right if all choices were complete random. Of course, 33% is not guaranteed by random! You can get hit by a meteorite or win big the...
I have both faceblindness and object recognition difficulties, and was very surprised to find that almost no one else in this group seems to suffer from both....

Thank you for responding! I've been waiting to hear from someone who experiences both!! Your description of "third green icon from the left" made me laugh - my...
For visually recalling his day I wonder if practice with daydreaming might help? Does he day dream at all? Does he play make believe dress up acting out roles...
Retelling conversations instead of repeating incidents is how your son experiences his day. I know a deaf woman with whom I made a contract. Her assistant kept...

That is a toughie. For much of this year he could NOT do any make believe play, which ade him bored and miserable. I had volunteers (and myself) entertaining...
