Not as much fun as you would think. Lived my whole life with this and it makes relationships interesting and dificult.

Faceblind people do see faces and can recognize emotions. We just cannot remember faces that we have seen.

I wonder if this has anything to do with Asperger's Syndrome where they have difficulty recognizing facial expressions and reading emotions.

I doubt it. I have Asperger's and I am much more like the "super recognizer" woman towards the end of part 1. My job is basically to know who each of the 480 people working at my office are, their mannerisms, their work habits, their call stats etc. When I was in retail, I knew all of my past 2000+ customers over a span of 10 years. I can also recognize people that I have never met, but have seen walking by in a store, just like the woman at the end.
