I know Sumner means this as an insult but I think it’s hilarious that honeybees are face-blind

Some of us have problem with identifying faces. I think the man is Anthony Perkins, but I haven't a scoobies who the woman is. I imagine it's supposed to be important.
Not that I expect you to care, but just letting you know that I have no idea what your post is meant to say.

Good advice. It can also help people like me. I'm face blind, so if people post photos of celebrities or politicians, I have no idea who it is.

Funny old world, isn't it?

I've never been able to recognise people, including one of my sisters, and, early in our relationship, The Beloved™ who agreed later on to marry me.
But. I was at a reunion event a couple of days ago. A chap who was sat at our table looked familiar somehow. I spoke with him afterwards, he was who I thought he was, we served together 38 years ago, and I've never seen him since.

Funny old world, isn't it?

(Sadly, I’m so #faceblind I often enough do this unintentionally. It’s *mortifying*.)

@BZBrainz @actuallyautistic I've not been formally diagnosed with prosopagnosia, but I''ve definitely got it going on. I've cluelessly walked past people I've known for 20 years on the street more than once.#faceblind #faceblindness #prosopagnosia

👋 I'm #FaceBlind too. I can still see features and expressions, but have no memory for them. I am not sure I've hurt anyone's feelings in a while, mostly it's just a huge anxiety that I *will*.

This is actually the second time I tested myself for #FaceBlindness - the first time was 11 years ago and I barely beat 50% last time. I managed 61% this time but I guessed so much I really wonder if I didn't get lucky a few times.

I think I did alright with the part of the test where they only presented me with one face to remember. It was the of six faces later where I Just could not remember who I had seen. Anyone else test as poorly on this?

Theoretically I know who each of these people are. But I have no idea who the person in this picture is. #FaceBlind

@TheConversationUS
Interesting. I had a stutter as a child, mostly addressed. People who know me occasionally comment that I speak more slowly than normal. That's because every sentence I say has been mentally rehearsed prior to speaking it out loud.
I also have developmental prosopagnosia, I'm face blind. Just wondering if anyone may have investigated any possible correlation?

Went to the shops. Was sure I heard my neighbour talking to her kids. But, like most autistic people, I'm not great at recognising faces out of their usual context, and it didn't look like her, so I didn't say hi.

(Although I recognise voices okay, I guess.)

Now I've just seen her walking into her house and it's definitely her, so I feel deeply embarrassed, she must be wondering why I refused to say hi.

I'm hopeless.

As a moderately #faceblind person, I love Mastodon’s culture of alt-texting. I spent so much time on Twitter trying to figure out who the people were in the photos everyone was talking about. #prosopagnosia

@Kim_Justice is sat behind me and I didn't recognise her until she spoke to somebody. That's a prime example of how face blindness works. I've seen her face hundreds of times but it's the voice I can pick out of a crowd. #CrashLive #faceblind

Trying to find my new consistency.
