[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 484453, member: 3907"] Sounds like an interesting movie. I too would like to see whether it provides an accurate representation of the condition. My difficult child has some measure of face blindness, compounded by the fact that he only has sight in one eye. Interestingly, he's not aware that he has it. I think he assumes that everyone else perceives faces the way he does. It took us a long time to figure out that he had face blindness. Because he was enrolled in socialization programs as a very small child, and they had a heavy emphasis on reading facial expressions and social cues, difficult child learned to be very convincing about "reading" people's faces. I started to catch on that he can't really perceive faces after a number of times when my head was angled slightly toward him, but my face was turned away from him. difficult child reacted based on the emotions he thought were on my face, which he couldn't see at all given my position. It was a huge A-Ha moment for me. I agree. The site MWM posted is a great resource for learning about it. [/QUOTE]
