What is this you ask? This is the term for facial blindness, one of the agnosia's with which Adam has been diagnosed. Here is a short video clip from this evenings CBS news about facial blindness:

This may explain some of the questions people have been asking about what Adam "sees" when he looks at peoples faces. It is hard for me to understand as well and I am with him on a daily basis so I know it is hard to comprehend for those who only see Adam occasionally or who may not even know him at all.
There are also a couple of stories about injured Marines at Walter Reed and NNMC (Bethesda) in the same CBS evening news show which Adam and me found interesting.
Oh wow! That is pretty much how I understood Adam's vision, but so crazy so many people suffer from face blindness. Encouraging to see so many successful people who suffer from that condition.
