Prosopagnosia Definition and Causes

[boatymsboatface]

I was so happy to read about this condition that I definitely have. Such relief!

An article by Oliver Sachs in the New Yorker alerted me to this condition.

Well, let me rephrase that last comment. I learned of this disorder from the game. The game is called 9 hours 9 rooms 9 persons or 999 for short. It's a sort of interactive novel in which one of the chracters suffered from prosopagnosia. After learning of it, I did an internet check to learn a little about it and I found your video.

If you were thinking that I meant that the game referenced this video, then I apologize for getting you excited.

I have been told many times in my life that I'm definitely someone who looks outside the box. I've found solutions to problems that everybody else thought was pure genius. I think they were overreacting just a little because the idea never occurred to them, is all.

I recently learned that I have face blindness (Prosopagnosia). This means that for the most part, I do not recognize people when I look only at their face. Because of this, I have always tried to memorize something different about them. I look for a defining feature, like a scar or their eyes, nose, or the way they speak and so on.

Something unique to them.

Because I look at things differently, compared to most people. Makes me wonder if this trait carries over into other areas of life and is the origin of a person that is an, "outside the box" thinker?

Would you believe that a video game brought me here?

Hi Neuro Habits. Hope you doing well. Can you please help? Faces of people that disgust me, that i haven't seen in very long, i confuse them to those of other people, random . But I have no problem with neutral faces or the faces of those I like. My eyesight is very good. I have had horrible childhood ongoing traumas though, adhd, bipolar disorder, cured with tegretol 5 to 8 years old. Why does it happen?
