Simple trick: Just ask someone how they spell their name so you can get it right.

Well I tried that once and the guy looked at me and said "B O B"

Awkward.

I'm at the point that if your not in my close contact range?
I don't care and will gladly tell you so.
I use the
"I'm 61 now and rarely see you and I suffer from CRS. Who are you again?"

My little sister who have studying psychology in his education and here mentor have said that I'm suffering from aspergers and autisme.

I do not doubt her and her mentor.

What I can't figure out is:

Have I developed it due to my bad short-time memory

or

is it this aspergers and autisme that have lead to my bad short time memory.

I'd like to claim it was all down to the early onset of Alzheimers but that would go down like a lead ballon when I consider my father-in-law succumbed to that at the early age of 59.
