I often find this, especially if it's somebody I don't know well. However, the worst one is when you see somebody out of context; that is, in a place that you would not normally see them; for some reason, if you are used to seeing a person in one place and see them elsewhere, it can happen that you just don't register their presence and just walk right by
Yes, that happens to me, too!
Thank you all for responding - I'm glad to know it's not strictly aging. I don't need to deal with Alzheimer's along with Asperger's.
I have had this problem my entire adult life. If I know someone from church, and see them at the grocery, I cannot think of their name. Nowadays I'm just glad to see them, and I talk with them until I get a clue. If I don't get a clue I act embarrassed that I can't remember their name.
