Today at the grocery store, I did not recognize someone I had worked with for two years. If I don’t see a face for a certain amount of time, it gets deleted from the memory bank. Sorry, Jeff! #faceblindness #prosopagnosia

Amen! I once had to stop watching "The 4400" halfway through the last season because the main good guy and the main bad guy were two nearly identical white guys wearing essentially the same outfit. I do also have partial #faceblindness, but even seeing them side by side they still looked identical.

Just like she’d managed her family’s budget, after her father had passed and she’d slipped into the position of helping her mother—who worked several part-time jobs—with raising her three younger siblings. Olivia wished she could have taken some college, as Lexi had, but it was beyond her family’s means. She’d even tried other retail jobs, ones that paid more. But her social anxiety took too great a toll. She’d always had trouble remembering people, even regular customers—she figured she was just one of those people who was bad at that sort of stuff. But then recently she’d learned that she, in fact, had a neurological disorder. It was genetic; shared with her mother. And it made it nearly impossible for names and faces to stick in her mind, as hard as she tried. She and her mother both had prosopagnosia, or “face blindness.” And while it was nice to have a name for their condition, there was no treatment. And it made her anxious to be in public. Because in

How wonderful and useful it is to be able to recognise and remember faces!

Who are all these people?

I look at a stranger and see a friend. Am I a super-recognizer? I once even thought I had seen my late grandmother. Can science explain my overfamiliarity with strange faces?

Our kid suffers from #faceblindness. We have a caucasian friend whose adopted kids are Chinese and African, and she mentioned one of those kids thus: "I didn't know Joe was adopted!" She cannot discern ethnic differences. I worry so much that she'll accidentally hurt people's feelings. 🫤

At 72, diagnosed autistic late, I wrote this about not seeing faces.

Are there any research studies for #faceblindness in the US? A family member has it, and I'd like to connect. Thanks!

Imagine not recognizing certain faces from birth. This rare condition, congenital face blindness, affects up to 1 in 50 people. Many go undiagnosed, thinking it’s normal to rely on voices or clothes instead of faces.

Welcome to the meta detective work of trying to consume visual media when you have an impaired facial recognition module. From a viewer who frequently thinks a new character has been introduced when someone appears in a different scene wearing a hat. #prosopagnosiaTV #faceBlindness 4/4

I can narrow it down to 3 or 4 suspects because it's a white guy and the cast is decently ethnically diverse. And it won't be one of the several white male minor characters that all look the same to me, because that wouldn't be dramatic enough a reveal. #prosopagnosiaTV #faceBlindness 3/

Can tell by context this is a younger version of someone we know and viewer is obviously supposed to recognise them. Will she help me out by exclaiming "Oh no, I can't belong it was Bob/Tom/etc all along”? She will not. Credits roll. #prosopagnosiaTV #faceBlindness 2/

Watching TV and conveniently the actors are all different looking enough that I can tell them apart. But then the detective pulls up a photo and gasps in horror. There is ominous music. Oh no. #prosopagnosiaTV #faceBlindness 1/

Even mild face blindness can cause serious difficulties in daily life – new study Strategies to recognise people require ‘huge mental effort’ and often don’t work.

A new study shows even mild prosopagnosia can make daily life difficult – including recognising close friends or family.
