In one of the articles about prosopagnosis, it told of the guy talking with somebody for 15 minutes,
then a half hour later mistaking a total stranger for the person he had talked to. Gait isn't the only
body language item we get information from. I'm reminded that when my macular degeneration first
began I could not tell my wife across a lecture hall unless I could remember what dress she wore.
I did not, however, attempt to use the handicap to enter into new arrangements.
Handicaps can of course be utilized. The guy with Klumpke's Disease(,an obstetrical injury which I
believe afflicted Kaiser Wilhelm) could use his right arm to reach everything on the table he wanted,
and the short, almost useless arm to miss the dinner check by two inches.
