Wow, my mom has had a problem with faces her whole life, we've always been under the impression it was eyesight related, but I've seen her downright not recognize someone she met briefly, multiple times but recognize someone's gait from afar...
She's always placed her main focus on gait and voice, and can identify people very easily like that, I've always admired this super power, seriously, she first told me about it when I was 11. Now I wonder if she too may have been dealing with this all this time. She's nearly 65 and I know she's never been tested for anything...
I think its amazing how the brain can adapt to make up for its shortcomings, but I can imagine that its surely not without its own pitfalls.
Thank you for sharing Josie, its really been an educational read.
