Those of you with identity issues (where the things you use to recognize people replace your own face in your sense of self) will very much identify with this...

Hmm, I have depth perception difficulties only when in insufficient lighting. But interestingly, if someone is wearing black clothing, I have trouble seeing...

... Bill: I also have trouble decoding black, unless it is somewhat faded, or it is in direct sunlight. This is probably just due to the situation that black...

Nope, I can almost never recognize people by their clothes. In fact, I have great trouble remembering what clothing a person is wearing. People used to come...
Nancy, I think that depth perception is related to paralex vision. That is, having two eyes allows us to see depth. But since our problem is neurological, I...
Nancy, I forgot to answer your last question. I don't think there's any difference in my perception between a man's or woman's face, except that as a hetero ...
