Prosopagnosia affects people in different ways. Some people can’t recognize familiar faces—even their own family members, according to the American Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS). Others cannot distinguish between unfamiliar faces.
The disorder can be caused by a number of things – stroke, traumatic brain injury, or certain diseases Neurodegenerative But it can also be a congenital disorder, present at birth, and apparently running in families, meaning that it is likely to be the result of a genetic mutation or deletion.
According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, some children with autism may also have some degree of prosopagnosia.
According to the CBS website, for treatment, people with prosopagnosia must work on developing “compensatory strategies” to recognize people. Many people with this condition use other cues, such as a person’s voice, to identify themselves.

People with this condition after a stroke or brain trauma can also be taught to use other cues to recognize people, other than their faces.
