[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know, I have a coworker who does that. She told me upfront that she can't recognize faces. If that's the case with your child, you might need to find an accommodation that works, i.e his friends know to come up and say something, or he learns to tell people this.[/quote] That was my first thought. I don't think it occurs to most NT people that there are people out there who literally can not recognize people out of context or if the person changes anything significant about themselves (manner of dress, hair cut, growing a beard ...). Affected people usually arrive at compensating strategies as adults, but kids don't have those yet. There is some indication of correlation between face blindness and ASD. [/quote]
