   @pathfinder @devxvda @actuallyautistic I have a weird thing with people and faces. If you show me a series of photos, I have no issues with picking the ones belonging to the same person. But don’t ask me to recognize the person in real life - I can’t. Like, pictures and a real person are so different to me, I can’t make the connection

     @devxvda @actuallyautistic
     With faces, I'm not entirely sure whether that's because we don't pay attention to them because we know we won't remember, or whether it's just the whole eye contact thing and we just don't like to and because it doesn't actually mean that much to us.
     And yet, if someone showed you a series of photo's of people's faces and asked you if they weren't a certain person, there is probably a good chance that you would answer correctly. A bit like me with sound. The memories are obviously there, just not in a way we can access.
