ala @cygaj.cc · 25/09/2026i used to think my prosopagnosia is very mild; now i believe its "regular" but overcompensated by good visual memory. i've come to that conclusion at some point after seeing an interview with a face blind women who's severely affected: "ppl look like bunch of labradors to me" 100
