squirenonny: noromojustkeith: Y’all: How the heck did Keith not realize Krolia was his mother when they look exactly alike?! Me: Quietly files this into a folder labelled ‘Evidence to Support the Autistic!Keith headcanon’ [Image descriptions: Screenshot of Keith from Voltron: Legendary Defender looking at someone off-screen and saying, “You’re my…?” Below this is a series of screenshot of text excerpts, black on a white background.Excerpt 1: “Prosopagnosia, also known as “facial agnosia” or “face-blindness,” is a neurological disorder that makes facial recognition difficult or impossible. Two thirds of autistic children and adults have some degree of face-blindness.”Excerpt 2: “Imagine being unable to recognize your own mother’s face. You may know your mother’s voice, her smell, her size and shape… but her face means nothing to you.This is face blindness, or prosopagnosia, a disorder that may be congenital or caused by brain injury.While it occurs in many people who are not autistic, it is quite common among people with autism spectrum disorders.”Excerpt 3: “Individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) experience difficulties communicating, which impacts on involvement in social situations [1]. Information from faces is essential during social interactions as it allows inference for recognition and classification [2]. Recognition of faces requires active extraction and encoding of information from the face [2]. It has been suggested that individuals with ASD experience difficulties in facial recognition as a consequence of different strategies in facial processing [3].” /end image description.]*sits back and sips tea* Friends, I’ve been on this train from the very start, and it is a good train to be on. Perhaps I can interest you in some face-blind Keith fic? -- source link
