Sorry it took so long for me to reply. Unfortunately, I'm back to my usual ego-prosical self again. I was able to recognize people for about two weeks before...

Vivian, I read your post quite a while ago, but I keep thinking about it. I wouldn't assume that 'more' friends are better. Some people simply take longer...

My husband and daughter and I are watching, "So You Think You Can Dance." We love this show. I don't think that I qualify for a diagnosis of Prosopagnosia--I...
I've always had trouble connecting. I can't always tell what people think of me by their expressions. Usually I know who won't hurt me, like an instinct. But I...
That is interesting. I would hazzared to guess, though, that people with a "poor normal" range are probably really people with at least mild prosopagnosia. I...

Hey, what a great post. I'll put it in one of my folders to reread once in a while. You're so right with what you say, especially the 'say what you mean, mean...
