That'd confuse me, too. Hopefully their voices aren't alike.

Glad to know I'm not alone. I thought they were all the same person for several episodes.

They aren't often in the same scenes together so it's hard to tell who's who, or compare their voices.

So Han solo is probably capitalist. Free market entrepreneur if i recall.
But is Luke Communist? he did help those people on that snow planet and the ewoks. I'm thinking collectivist socialist with religious ideological bent.
Vader gang def militarist colonists.
Militarist, cause vader answers to that emperor guy. And they always seem to be blowing up planets. If I recall.
Also c3po....r2d2....are they?

I'm weird. I insist my underwear be tight when I leave the house. Security or something. I wear them a size smaller in public than I do at home. If I don't change out when I get home, the elastic at the front of the thighs will sting by the evening. Not just a sensory thing. Actual raw skin. That tight. I have them in sizes 7-9 depending on desired fit and my current weight. I wear one pair of shoes until they wear out, but underwear...I have three drawers of just my current favorites. And more in longer term storage lol.

When I go out in public yes I do wear them.

Autistic people have many sensitivities to clothing and elastic (bras, undies, and all clothes).

If you google you'll see it's a very common concern for people on the spectrum.

Interesting ^. Were you always aware of this limitation? In my case I really didn't have a clue until my ASD assessment when I was diagnosed with Prosopagnosia. It's one of those things where I assumed I was normal, or that's what it was like for everyone -- kind of like me having synaesthesia which I didn't realise until it was explained in a Uni lecture.

When we had this conversation about face blindness, Trudeau came on the news and she asked me if I recognised him. I said yes, of course. He's a very familiar person for obvious reasons. But then I was thinking, if you subbed his face onto another body with different hair and in a different context, I likely wouldn't recognise him at all.

I googled whether there's an operation to cure face blindness.

This is the only treatment I found:

https://healthcareglobal.com/technology ... discovered

Is it just me, or does the article make no sense? What exactly is the treatment?

I already have lots of coloured lenses. They don't help at all.

I've pieced it together throughout adulthood. I started accepting and noticing it mostly because people would call me out but also because I realized how much I struggled to even recognize romantic partners by their face which I understood to be abnormal even if it was typical for me.

Sorry to hear that people called you out. I struggle with partners too although part of the problem is also Aphantasia (not being able to picture much of anything - including people). One partner in particular was impossible to picture when we weren't together so I had to keep a lot of photos. At work I needed to memorise what people were wearing or small details like freckles. I'd get to know the main people quickly enough but it had nothing to do with their face. It was all about their general appearance and personality, like you mentioned before. I barely even look at anyone's face because of the eye-contact issue.

How can one give themselves a free speech award, say they would never do anything to implement censorship on the platform, then ask the government to pass some free speech limit law so that they can be forced to implement censorship of any viewpoints that are unfavorable to the mainstream, silence dissenting opinions, all in favor of controlling information?

Pretty sure I have an ear infection. If I have to go to the doctor he's probably going to want me to get tubes in my ears, and I really don't want to go through the procedure for that...

I'm watching Gentleman Jack and I have absolutely NO CLUE who anyone is, or what their names are, apart from the main two women (conveniently, they're both named Anne).

There are three characters in particular I had to google because I can't tell them apart at all.

Tell me these women are triplets?

These women legitimately all look nearly the same. I don't think I could easily tell them apart even as an adult.

I've never had sensitivity training. Or any kind of training in how to socialize, talk to people. I just kind of " wing it."

I see them as too different.

Even if the case is actually the same person having several pictures of different angles and lighting.

I won't recognize them because I'd forget. :lol:

I see the three actresses as different, I do have to look at the details to define some similarities. All three have chins that are kinda squared.

No one has ever come with me on my walks/hikes/marches/whatever other than my old dog, nor my camping/hunting trips. My father never did (I've been doing it for a long time), even though he went searching in similar [and other] places for things to escape his memories and addictions all the same; I guess I got that one from him, even if I'm so different, but maybe not so much different.
