[QUOTE="On_Call, post: 59976, member: 3211"] Our difficult child is like that - people are constantly saying "Hi difficult child" to him in stores, etc., and he will say "who are you", etc. Sometimes I know who they are and sometimes I don't. He never knows anyone if he hasn't seen them everyday. And, he totally doesn't know the person if they are out of their usual element. He never used to be able to tell me at all what someone looked like when he was younger. I bought him the "Guess Who" game - where each person has a character card and you have to ask the other questions about their characters physical characteristics - ie 'does your person have white hair', etc. His descriptions have gotten better, but he still has no recognition skills. easy child also has a hard time describing anyone to me. She and I have been playing "Guess Who" each weekend for the past few weeks! Amazing - I had also never heard of this, but I am going to look into it some more!! Thanks for posting this! [/QUOTE]
