[QUOTE="Elsi, post: 745281, member: 23349"] Same!!! This is so awkward. I have such a hard time seeing people out of their normal context, or if they’re not in their usual clothes of hairstyle. I had a terrible time when the kids were all in activities and I could never recognize the other baseball/ballet/band/gymnastics moms when I would run into them at school events or at the grocery store. I think I had a reputation for being terribly stuck up because of that. But I just didn’t recognize anyone! I’m the same on the movies, too. And when I was little, I remember thinking I had multiple aunt Js because my aunt changed hairstyles several times. I kept wondering when aunt J with the long hair was coming back! It’s weird when you gradually start realizing not everyone has this problem. Oh. Oops. I think of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) as having multiple facets, each with its own spectrum. So some of us may score really high in some aspects but not so much in others. And some things are more changeable with time and effort than others. Social skills I have found to be learnable. Sensory processing issues not so much. [/QUOTE]
