I knew I was faceblind, even if I didn't know the term, by the time I was 5. Lots of embarrassing moments but I think the worst is when I kissed my brother-in-law because he was wearing my husband's coat. I just assumed he was my husband.
@fesshole reminded of "The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat", a collection of case studies from a neurologist. that chap was face-blind to the point he literally could not distinguish human faces from the room furnishings
@fesshole This was one of the explicit motivations for development of the prototype that became Google Glass. In addition to all the creepy applications of smart glasses, this is one of the unambiguous benefits.

@fesshole You've not told your relatives about your being face-blind?
@Eetschrijver@mastodon.social @fesshole@mastodon.social They probably don't believe it. Mine don't
@fesshole nice story you told your husband /j (joking, I'm faceblind too)
