Really?! Where's the face?


The whole thing is the face. Not the fork. But the brown stuff. With exciting windswept hair.


Are you good at reading faces?


I'm terrible at recognising faces. I do poor to average in the face reading tests when it comes to emotions.


It's interesting. I've known a lot of aspies who don't recognise faces, including me. I therefore make an effort to notice anything distinctive about people in order to recognise them, but it doesn't always work. I think I'm quite good at recognising emotions though, only because I read about body language. Before that, I took almost every facial expression as an angry one.


I tend to notice people's stature, their clothes etc. I find it difficult to learn new faces, new people seem to have a new mask on every time I see them.

I love spinach too. Just not from a can then over-boiled by my mom. She knows my mom. Jk

I (female) thought it was a glob of muddy hay on a steel pitchfork in a sleek modern barn, so I voted mud.

Then a few days later I thought ah! It's spinach on a fork!

Now with all the chocolate cake votes I am seeing it's probably chocolate cake but it still looks equally green and spinachy to me.

Went through basically the same curve.
First thought it was stuff dredged from a canal. Then thought it was spinach on a fork, and finnally succumbed to the consensus that it was chocolate cake. But Im a guy.

Until I looked closely, I had the same impression, b9.

(And I'm female and b9 is male.)

At first I thought it was Wolverine claws, but then I looked at it longer and noticed it was a fork. Then I noticed it was chocolate cake. I am female.
