The facial recognition issue is a seriously terrifying medical condition. Sufferers can't even recognise their children or spouses. They learn to recognise people by their clothes and hair. I suspect haircuts cause major problems. I'm sure a thriller or horror movie has used or will at some point use it as a way for a con man or killer to get close to a sufferer.

Caryn:

@Trolleybus: some people use voices to recognise people, but the disorder also often affects memory, so all the recognition techniques are susceptible to problems. Voice recognition more than many others (since you can write down lists and descriptions of clothes and hair, but voice is more problematic, unless you record samples of everyone).

Well, you usually can't recognise your own face in the mirror either, so you also wouldn't know if you were ugly.

I actually have a friend with FB. I didn't think about it, but she couldn't find me in a restaurant after I shaved my beard.

It turns out Har Markar is dating Joey's other sister. On seeing Chandler smooch his sweety, he loses his Bhuddist cool and punches Chandler right in the gibblets

Caryn:

Also, some sufferers also have problems with recognising landmarks, so trying to remember routes is difficult. Following regular tv shows and movies is supposedly also next to impossible. Cartoons and sketch shows with recurring characters are easier to follow, because the characters often wear the same clothes all the time and have more exaggerated voices and features.

@Caryn Wow, thats some disability. If a colleague/acquaintance has prosopagnosia (I looked it up) how can one help them?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:42pm
Caryn:

@Trolleybus: hm, I suppose adopting a distinct clothing style (that's a thought... all goths are just helping out friends who are sufferers) and warning them of grooming changes helps? If you happen to have a limp or something, that'll come in handy. Guess it also depends on what kind of prosopagnosia they have.

I guess also identifying yourself by your name when you approach them or talk to them (especially for the initial weeks/months) helps.

Caryn and Trolleybus - it's not that bad. They actually get along pretty well. Worst case they arrange to meet you at a particular place, and they recognize body type, style, and especially voice. They become very observant people - not lost in the world at all.

I guess you could trick them if you wanted to. Not sure how much fun it would be.

Caryn:

@dog: I guess it depends on the severity. If you simply have facial recognition issues, it's easy to cope. If you have problems with landmark recognition, modern navigation apps help them find their way around. But if they also have memory problems, impaired vision (which is a common problem) or colour perception problems (another occasional issue), or have prosopagnosia because of another medical issue (like Altzheimer's, autism or brain damage from an accident), coping can be significantly more difficult.

@Caryn. Be constantly distinctive. Wear something unusual but not necessarily outrageous at work, constantly. The BBC did a radio programme on this a while ago, although I've forgotten most of it.
