Faceblind Cartoon: Group Photographs
Prosopagnosia (faceblindness) is the inability to recognise people by their faces. That includes one’s own face. I can only identify myself in photos if the clothes are familiar and I remember the event. School photos, team photos, tour photos, departmental photos, all are landmines. I’m puzzling myself out, don’t ask me to identify the other […] (Source: Andrea's Buzzing About:)

Faceblind cartoon: In the Cafeteria
Prosopagnosia (faceblindness) is the inability to recognise people by their faces. You never know when you’ve blithely walked right past a neighbour or classmate. Even those people more familiar to you who you might be able to identify – slowly, consciously, by their hair, voice, or gait – are easily missed when they’re out of […] (Source: Andrea's Buzzing About:)

Thumbs Up: Life Hack for Medicine Bottle Caps
Here’s a handy life hack or all my spoonie, arthritic and / or dyspraxic friends out there who struggle to open the %$#@! medication bottles dispensed with push-down-and-turn child-safety caps (even when you don’t have small people around). This hack works with those bottles that have a sort of sliding inside cap. You know, the one […] (Source: Andrea's Buzzing About:)

Annoying froms full of wee boxes
So, hat’s my problem wilth filling out forms? “Sure, no one’s fond of it, but it’s not that bad. Just sit down and get it done already.” Sometimes it’s the essential tremour that makes handwriting shaky. Someone tell me: WHY are the boxes so damn small? Then there’s visually tracking back and froth between my […] (Source: Andrea's Buzzing About:)

“ I even have trouble understanding the Mondegreens. ”
I mostly listen to instrumental music because I can’t understand what people are singing. One of those major effects of CAPD (Central Auditory Processing Disorder). *Mondegreen (noun) “A misunderstood or misinterpreted word or phrase resulting from a mishearing of the lyrics of a song.” ~ Oxford Dictionary (Source: Andrea's Buzzing About:)

Companionably Autistic
It’s a different thing being around other autistics. Well, doubtless I’ve been around other autistics before. But when we did not know we were, there was all that stress from passing (“pretending to be normal”), so generally weren’t aware of what our sensory and other needs actually were, much less how to comfortably, genuinely, be […] (Source: Andrea's Buzzing About:)

This Gimpy Artist Prefers GIMP
After beating my head on a wall with Adobe Illustrator CC for a month, I’ve given up and gone with GIMP and Inkscape. Whilst GIMP has its own annoyances and quirks, I’m finding it much easier! Granted, there was a bit of transfer-of-knowledge from AI to GIMP, which allowed me to comfortably use the latter […] (Source: Andrea's Buzzing About:)

What to take from Comments
For the unfamiliar, Vi Hart makes fabulously fun-entertaining-educational Youtube videos about math & geometry, doodling, food and music. (No, you needn’t have aced calculus to understand them; my 7-year old grandson thinks they’re awesome.) Once in a while she takes a tangent, such as this episode, Vi Hart’s Guide to Comments, where she explores ideas about […] (Source: Andrea's Buzzing About:)
