Hi, I'm new on here, only just been diagnosed after years of being reproached. for not being able to "move on" and counless misdiagnoses added to my name. I now have  hundreds of questions. One that bothers me a lot is why I have such difficulty using people's names. I can refer to someone by name but I just cannot use their name directly to them. If I want to speak to my partner, I have to go up to him and speak to him; I cannot call him by name. However I don't have this problem with my 4 year old twins. Does anyone else have this problem?

    But think, how would the Triad of Impairments explain our difficulty with names - Executive Functioning?

    The trouble with such mystery labels is we aren't making much progress on helping people's everyday lives. The professionals' solution is pop a pill..... Many of the pills have side-effects that further diminish the value of life.
