A Prosopagnosia Love Story

Falling in love, without recognizing your beloved.

Posted January 21, 2011

THE BASICS

I just heard a very touching interview on NPR's Radiolab, from WNYC. Simon and Sarita fell in love, and out of love. There's a twist - he has propagnosia, otherwise known as "facial blindness". Simon can't recognize faces - in fact, he didn't recognize Sarita at first.
