I've been asked to post this on the Yahoo list on behalf of Robert Prior, who posts on the Face Blind Folks list but has some information which deserves to go...
Would this help? Prosopagnosia can be debilitating in a workplace. Not recognizing superiors, coworkers, or clients can have severe repercussions (providing...
It wouldn't help me. The way you describe it, I would not want to tell my employer or my supervisor I had prosopagnosia. I would rather they think I were...
... I think the operative word in the definition is "can", i.e., "can be debilitating". For some of us, clearly it is. Certainly in my case, it has colored...
I think it really depends on what the core functions of the job are. Certainly, I would be no good at any job where I was expected to recognize everyone who...
Yes, I can understand and I would act similarly in the scenario at the bottom of this post copied from another post. My concern is the phrasing of the...
... I do this, too. I think telling my employer that I have this problem has helped enormously in reducing my stress levels and has also helped my colleagues...
When I asked would this help--I meant in terms of showing that this is a disability. I have a job, and I have told people and they make allowances. Of...
actually, I think McCain/Palin might be a better advocate for ADA ... From: Jo Hardt Foti <jo_foti@...> Subject: [faceblind] Re: On behalf of Robert Prior ...
It is understandable that politics and disability issues are very much hand in hand these days. For the purpose of this list, I'd like to clarify the ...

Hello, Everyone - I was THRILLED to find this group! People who "understand"! I just had my first FAMILY mix-up, talking to "my daughter" at a high school...
One time I went t visit my brother over thanksgiving one year. My nephew had an annual school program that I went to see. He is young and growing so I hadnt...
One night this week my husband and I were watching a show that had 2 (or 3?) slender blond men in it. One of the men was a conventional looking and dressing...
Hi everyone, I'm hopeful to learn more from this group on how to deal with the challenges that come up with faceblindness. I have a son with Asperger's and...
... That sounds like me :) There are some actors that I would swear are the same person but my dh says it isn't the same person. It would be easier if everyone...
Hi everyone I joined just recently but haven't had a chance to introduce myself. Strangely enough I didn't realise I was faceblind until recently. I never...
. . . vision therapy and is it any help for faceblindness?? * * * * * No. Face blindness has to do with how the brain processes (or doesn't process) faces, not...
Bonnie has already given some good advice, and I'll second her comments. As for vision therapy, if he is faceblind, vision therapy won't do any good. It would...
Bonnie, that was such a great description of how people can help us deal with other people -- we need a hostess! I love it. I'm going to 'borrow' this analogy...
