Description
Rowena Padamsey and Emma Baker describe a man who saw faces as warped after his stroke. Their conference abstract from 2026 deals with a rare sight disorder where one half of a face looks distorted. Face reading sits at the heart of talk, feeling, and social life, so the fault can cut a person off.
The man, aged seventy three, worked as a maths tutor and photographer. Scans showed several strokes in back and deep brain areas. He could walk on his own but could not read faces or their feelings, and faces looked cartoon like to him. Therapy built work around his goals, with coping plans and graded steps back into social settings.
