Do you have prosopagnosia?

Other: no.



I have a photographic memory, so as long as I can risk eye contact and bring myself to look them in the face, it's stuck there forever.

I do have a problem with voices, though Like if someone calls on the phone, I usually have no idea who it is...one time someone called for my dad, and I thought it was my friend, and started trying to chat @_@ I even have that problem with famous people doing voice acting in movies...even if they have a very distinct voice, someone will say "Oh, that's Morgan Freeman!" and I'll go "Really? Oh yeah...you might be right."

Yep, definitely do, sometimes worse than others depends on the individual, the situation/context, etc.

When i meet someone for the first time, it is as if i have met them before, i thought i was psychic until i knew about AS.

It is just the memory of the face been stored in the wrong place wierd though.

I can recognize my family and a few other people, I was in contact with often, But even classmates are hard to recognize for me.

I have a mild form - I can recognise friends/family, but not aquaintances out of context. I found out a couple of years ago that my sister (definately NT) also has this problem. I remember at school that it took me months to be able to distinguish between the boys in my class (the girls were easier due to hair styles etc), and one of my very first memories is of being at nursery school and unable to tell the teacher who was my partner because every face looked the same.

Yep, 100%.
