Re – What you should know about Prosopagnosia, and how it affects the lives of those living with it, by Aisha Musa Auyo

I’m carried away by the unique style of writing, new knowledge presented and the lessons learnt. I must confess that you are a very good writer whom I source encouragement from. Your unique submissions are inspirational. You are truly a role model to the ladies of our generation. This article is very educative and enlightening. I recommend that everyone reads to be acquainted with the treasures hidden therein.

The ailment Prosopagnosia, knowing it for the first time, knowing a person suffering from it for the first time also, if not known to have been established on a person, people may be unable to fathom why and how one behaves in a way. Some may hardly believe, likely to view it as a defensive mechanism, especially if the victim is highly placed.

This is one of the beauties of research that worth encouragement. Prosopagnosia is just one out of many disorders that people suffer from, which are not popular, breeding misunderstanding and misconceptions among people which the victim and the blamer can be helpless about. It is evident that more research efforts in study areas would unveil a lot, for our collective good.

Permit me to share something personal. As a fallible being, I try as much as possible to relate well with everyone around and avoid anything that can constitute misunderstanding with people to the best of my ability. However, I find it difficult to resist perceived ill-treatment. I may not misbehave, but definitely, I will withdraw tactically, unnoticed, unannounced. It’s possible that I deserted some true friends, acquaintances as a result of the effect of Prosopagnosia.

The write-up teaches me more about the danger of assumption. One may be battling with Prosopagnosia, but mistaken as if he snubs or pretend deliberately not to recognize a fellow. This article is timely, as it holds the promise of mending ties and enhancing understanding between people for peaceful coexistence.

I encourage you to continue in this line and see this engagement as contribution to the society for progress. I wish you long life, good health and abundant blessings of Allah. My sincere appreciation and gratitude.

Thank you.
