NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Have you ever heard of face blindness?
A woman with the condition has said can be ‘stressful’ and ’embarrassing’, as it has left her unable to recognise people – including colleagues and her son – if they change any small detail about their appearance.
Claudia Kozeny-Pelling, 45, from Oxford, is a translator and SEO content writer in English and German. She has prosopagnosia, a condition also known as facial agnosia or face blindness.
She has been known not to recognise colleagues if she sees them outside work, or acquaintances who have changed their appearance slightly – such as not wearing their usual jacket or getting a haircut.
