#prosopagnosia

0 Beiträge0 Beteiligte0 Beiträge heute

Y'ALL! just reckoned Bryce Harper and Brandon Marsh are two different people 😆

kept getting confused as to why Bryce was twice at-bat in a game.

Brandon Marsh looks like Bryce Harper cosplaying Hermit Thor. if the Ozzie Chris ever makes it to a #Phillies game, i might never make them out from a lineup

#prosopagnosia is a bitch. with all my #neurodiversity fuckery, i don't even know how i make it out of the bed every morning.

One of my favorite things about having face blindness is that I frequently encounter a person who I believe is one of my siblings

And then I stare. Not because I actually think, “that IS my sibling,” but bc I’m trying to figure out what about their face DOESNT look exactly like one of the people I know, bc this person cannot logically be either my brother or my sister

It’s very cognitively disorienting & it is actually, in fact, not one of my favorite things

our middle school had a career day today!

one of the volunteers in the room across the hall recognized me and was bragging to her co-presenter that she knows a famous poet

we had a little exchange and it was cool and funny but awkward

later in the day, we saw each other again and she mentioned to a couple kids nearby how it was so crazy that she saw me today bc she'd forgotten I was a teacher as well

on my fucken life, I have no idea who that person was.

Me, watching a new show with face-blindness:

Oh wow.. I didn't know Many Patinkin is in this.

*watches guy running*
Oh, that's not Mandy Patinkin, it's just an old guy with a beard

*guy talks*
Oh hey, old guy with a beard is John Goodman!

*opening credits mentions Kurt Russell*
Huh, it was Kurt Russell after all that..

*googles*
Oh, it WAS John Goodman lol

@Zumbador @actuallyautistic @neurodivergents #Prosopagnosia was diagnosed for me by a curious doctor. Accepting it has helped me become a better detective and I have days where I think I’d have stronger relationships if this was not a barrier to forming them. For some types of relationships I disclose it, “I have a hard time recognizing faces, so come say hi—I’m not an asshole, if I look like I don’t know you it’s because I don’t know that I do.” 😩

#Introduction

The kids I grew up with knew I was "different", but my parents and school insisted I was normal. Now I've explored #Autism #Prosopagnosia #Alexithymia and #Aphantasia and have an idea what was going on, but then I thought everyone saw the world like I did, just coped better. I coped by becoming a #PluralSystem by age three when I realized my girl self would have to be hidden. After six "guy" IDs, I'm now back being that girl. Still running the system, but with more E and less T...

Age nine I was forced to wear #Bifocal #PlusLensTheory glasses every waking moment. Shattered my body sense and #CognitiveMap - psychoros.com/consumed-by-the- Spent endless days of lonely boredom exploring the ~30° wedges of #SpatialViewCells and the flat dioramas between them. Now I'm rebuilding a 3D world around my body, where #HeadDirectionCells can have a single basis and #DorsalStream depth can pop out of the flat distance like content from a random dot stereogram.

Despite all that, I've been online since #ARPAnet and #DJNR, wrote the first magazine article with simultaneous code distribution (via 8" floppies in the post), coded fab robots to move 6" & 8" Silicon wafers, built my (almost) independent #SolarPV and #SolarThermal house (7K lines of C++ from 1998, 42 device outs), and evolved an audio system with bandwidth from DC to a half MHz. Helped raise four unique kids, as adult minds in young bodies. Still mystify most of the adults I encounter...
