In her Blog piece titled “Face Blindness in Autism and Beyond“, Asperger’s Patient, Donna Williams, described her history of meaning blindness and how she has had to struggle to recognize even her husband when he returns home. In her thirties she got tinted lenses that finally allowed her to see faces as a whole, not a lot of fragments that she couldn’t process as a whole. She still had trouble RECOGNIZING people outside of their usual context. This is fascinatiing reading. Highly recommended.For my part I have a very long history of difficulty recognizing people at times, not connecting their image with their name. I do not store visual images well. If I close my eyes I cannot picture anything at all. When I entered the church in Salt Lake City for our son, Ryan’s wedding rehearsal, it took me some time to recognize our son, Ryan, his wife to be, and her family although they were standing right there. A similar experience happened when I attended a dinner meeting of our county pharmacy society and I had to scan the faces of those at the table. It is an uncomfortable process. Can you relate to this experience?
