In-ter-rest-ing

Sometime around April 2, 2009, I posted this on LJ

Things Ranka has passed on:

An interesting entry on living with face blindness by someone born neurologically typical, but had an injury that resulted in prosopognosia.

Jenny McCarthy being an idiot again, but the article is so much fun:

same blogsite, about video games that improve eyesight. Reminds me that I should find more shooter games to play.

same blogsite again, this one about a study done with autistic children that suggests that autistics are less sensitive to movements of living things, unless accompanied by matching sound. This study suggests reasoning for us staring at people's mouths when they talk rather than making eye contact, as well as potential for new learning materials.
