[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 60012, member: 1498"] I have it! I don't have it too bad but once I saw myself in a mirror at a restaurant and didn't recognized myself. I didn't realize I was looking in a mirror but I didn't even think "Oh, that woman looks like me." Mostly I don't recognize people when I first see them in a different environment than I'm use to seeing them. There was an article in the Wall Street Journal about it within the past two weeks, IIRC. Unfortunately, the WSJ is a subscription site. It told the story of a little boy who asked his mother "Are you my mommy?" when she picked him up at preschool. The article also said that people with the problem often recognize people based on clues, often hair style. After I read that I realized it was true for me.
