The actor Brad Pitt has openly talked about his prosopagnosia. I wonder if it helps him focus on facial expressions more easily? As in, most people might see "Margot Robbie is staring at me, holy shit" whereas Pitt sees "This woman is giving me FACS AU12 and AU6", which is easier to model and respond to.

Can anybody who has the condition chime in?
