[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 60010, member: 1991"] Marg's Man here... A couple of you have things like ... "common in Aspergers/autism" "nobody will say... Aspergers" [my edits]. The programme made it clear that, while face blindness IS a common feature of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), you CAN have face blindness without being on the spectrum. The opposite applies also. Marg and I have come to the conclusion that I definitely show Apsie traits but face blindness is definitely NOT one of them. Quite the opposite - I can recognise just about every face that I have ever seen before. Useful in the security aspects of my job which requires me to challenge people who are where they shouldn't be; but ask me to remember that person's name? Forget it! You can get a full transcript of the programme at: [url="http://www.abc.net.au/catalyst/stories/s1982889.htm"]http://www.abc.net.au/catalyst/stories/s1982889.htm[/url] They will probably be uploading video stream at some time soon as well.
