sorry, but, do i know you?

An article from the Guardian on living with prosopagnosia, or face blindness:

i get a mild version of this every day in the workplace - something i imagine my 'clients' (as we call them nowadays) find mildly traumatising. It's doubly difficult at work because so many of my clients have very similar hairstyles. The clothing doesn't help, either.

Fortunately, most of my friends and peers have neither the time nor the inclination to get too creative with their hairstyles and look more or less the same from year to year - so i generally manage to recognise the people who are most important in my life. That said, i must confess to having failed to recognise a very close friend of 12 years - someone i lived with for almost 2 years - after a change of hairstyle and some weight loss. She was appalled, to say the least.

i generally get by, but have made some very embarrasing errors in the past. Methinks this is probably also the reason i don't like watching gangster movies - too many criminals, too many faces (think: Ocean's Eleven) - which makes it very difficult to follow the plot.

i wonder if i actually have a very mild form of this disorder. It'd be interesting to find out.
