The neurological disorder that prevents you from recognizing faces, how is this possible? What would it look like?
In: Biology
I think I have a mild version of this and my son a bit worse.
For example, when my son was young (starting school in kindergarten) I asked him if he played with his female friend that day. He said no, she was absent. I knew she was there that day, but he didn’t recognise her because she wasn’t wearing her usual necklace.
He would get confused because this boy that normally bullied him (let’s call him Chris) sometimes was nice. It turns out he could not recognize him and thought any black child wearing a gray shirt was Chris.
For me personally, I don’t do well with faces I haven’t met in person often and I’m not great with voices either. Movies/television are a challenge. Esp subtitles (bc I can’t read and look at the characters at the same time, so I get lost on who is who).
Many times there is a type in casting and I can’t tell people apart. There’s just a sea of pretty people and they all look alike. I have a hard time following movies unless the characters are very memorable or the actors have some very distinct feature.
I’m trying to watch Dark on Netflix now. I’m having a very hard time keeping the characters straight. I was watching it for a lot of episodes before I realized it was 2 different dark haired ladies, I thought it was the same one.
