I am both face blind and name deaf. Its a horrible combination. And I have tried different techniques to help with this but none have worked for me. But if I see a name in writing, then I am good. Name tags everywhere please!

Oh wow! I wonder if there is a connection between these areas of the brain?
I've not encountered this term before, but it is suitable. I also have a problem with names and numbers. Like you, I need to see them in writing, but I will still have a problem with recall if it isn't used often. Names, dates and phone numbers are so difficult for me to remember. I too have tried many "tricks" that don't seem to work for me. I need to write them all down and keep good records. It is the ONLY way I can cope.
oh no! name deaf! that does sound like a dreadful combo!
