[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 59869, member: 1550"] I have face blindness. It can be really embarassing. People say "hi" to me all the time and I fake it and have no idea who I'm talking to unless they give me a clue. Sometimes it's the person who lives next door to me...lol. I can recognize my family and very close friends (most of the time). I was told it's common in Aspergers/autism, but nobody will say I have Aspergers. I do have an indisputable NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) (verbal IQ about 120/performance 85). I'll bet most people with this problem don't have a total inability to recall, but mine is pretty bad and has caused some really uncomfortable moments. Just one of my many "soft neurological symptoms" lol. There is a GREAT site on face blindness, which is called something like Proposania (somebody who knows the exact term please correct me). If you put "face blindness" into your search engine, this site will come up. It's a fantastic site. [/QUOTE]
