How do I function on a day to day basis?

The way I actually function on a day to day basis isn't that much different from what I figure everybody has to deal with. He's got a point there. It's kind of hard to put into words how it ends up being different, because the way to compensate for it is to do what everybody else has to do to a degree anyway. I guess it's just a difference of degree, and the extent of that differences is pretty fucking variable.

I still don't think it's entirely normal to feel absolutely terrified at a well-known voice coming out of a complete stranger's face because someone used a razor differently on one day than another, or to not know who your mother is unless she's pointed out to you, but really, to me, it's a lot more interesting in the abstract (which is why I would like to have a chance to talk with a neurologist about it) and for what it shows about how the human brain works, than it is in the direct "oh no I don't know who this person is" thing that happens every day to everybody.
