Hello!
There's something I've been wondering. I have always had a hard time remembering people's names. It can be confusing for example when watching TV shows or films or reading books because I struggle with remembering people's names. I don't know the names of most of my favourite characters but I can recognize them when I see a picture. It also takes me a long time to learn everyone's names when I meet new people. It really is frustrating at times. Then I met a fellow aspie who said they experienced the same thing.
I know that not recognizing people's faces is something that can be related to autism/asperger's but can not recognizing names be connected too? Is anyone else experiencing this?
