Face blindness

pink_princess

It's not known about much but face blindness is when you can't recognise faces for example famous people or just people in your familly. Prosopagnosia to give it it's full name has only been known of the past 15 years I would like to find out how can be diagnosed with it? And I would I've to know more people with to face ( ha ha joke) the struggles that I do.

Hi em_davidson,

The NHS website (http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/prosopagnosia/Pages/Introduction.aspx) suggests getting a GP to refer you to a clinical neuropsychologist for a diagnosis.

Bournemouth University look to do research on prosopagnosia and they run a discussion forum which also may be able to help you contact other people with this condition: http://prosopagnosiaresearch.org/discussion-board.

Hope this helps!
