Thank you so much for creating this thread!

- Do you have personal experience with face-blindness?
- Do you enjoy playing music or listening to music? I've heard that musical ability (keeping time, counting beats, etc) is sometimes linked to math, and a few parents online have said that music therapy helped their children manage dyscalculia. I do not have dyscalculia (despite definitely struggling with reversing numbers and basic computations) and have always found music theory/keeping rhythm very frustrating--I constantly lose track of where I am even with simple rhythms and I basically have to picture a game piece in my head moving up and down guitar tabs. I think this is part of why I struggle with memorizing music but it's the most effective way I know to do it since I'm not great at remembering rhythm or melodies, even after a year of guitar lessons. At this point it's more about forcing myself to be challenged than about any actual hope I'll become good at it.

Nope, no experience with face-blindness. I love listening to music, and warbling along, and rhythm games too - but I am AWFUL at keeping a beat and will easily go off-beat or lose my count.

When I try to count a beat or keep time in music, I tend to picture a game piece bouncing along a numbered timeline. It's so easy for me to lose track if I get distracted and I'm always losing my place.
