Ok so how many of you out there with Prosopagnosia also have other issues like synesthesia or no sense of direction or other? The 2 specific examples are additional issues/quirks I have. I don’t recall the source but remember reading somewhere that this was common with Prosopagnosia? Also does anyone else also have social anxiety either aggravated by or as a direct affect of Prosopagnosia?

Thanks!

Me too. I’m mildly sound-colour synesthetic, and I have a pretty terrible sense of direction. I never had much cause to notice the latter until I started learning to drive (I live in the kind of small town where all the places worth going to are on the same street), but the more I drive the bigger a problem it’s going to be. I really need a GPS.

I’ve also been meaning to practise navigating the nearby city with Street View. That way if I get thoroughly lost I have the option of giving up without being forced to find my way back home first, and I will have neither the stress of trying to both drive and navigate nor the stress of it all happening in real-time.
