john@jodawi.com AboutPurpose:
This is a community about prosopagnosia, or face blindness. Face blindness is a condition in which a person has great difficulty remembering faces. This may even include friends and family members that they have known for years, and is more of a disability than a mild annoyance (though different people may have it to different degrees).
Anyone interested in this can post here—people with face blindness, relatives of them, people working in the field, or people that are just interested.
NOTE: If you're not familiar with LiveJournal, try following the the word link here to see the actual postings:

Be polite. Do not attack people. If you post any pictures, use the lj-cut tag if they're very big. Discuss anything you want (on-topic or off). If there starts to be many messages a day, we might have to keep things more on-topic so people don't start getting too many.
Adding as an Interest:
Want to add this as one of your LiveJournal interests? Please use "face blindness" (without the quotes and without a hyphen), and optionally "prosopagnosia", so everyone is using the same term.

jodawiI'm not going to spend much time developing this place, so if you want to add content or make any changes to the community email me with what you want to add or change.
I have a few free account codes for people that want to join but don't have access to LiveJournal. You'll probably be happier if you have a paid account though—much faster.
