People with AS have a little bit of difficulty immediately recognizing faces—even close friends, family, or partners. The usual flicker of recognition in the eyes, the smile, those things may be missing when they see you. They may look at you blankly for a moment, even several moments, before they realize who you are. By then they may be too embarrassed to say anything. This can be perplexing; you may think they have forgotten you; you may assume that they don’t like you, or are giving you the brush-off for whatever reason.
