        uncommon to have other neurological conditions along with it. Two little 
        known sensory related conditions which appear to be more common in autistics 
        are:

          synaesthesia is when input from one sense is interpreted in another. 
          (eg. seeing sound, hearing light, tasting colour). It is very rare, 
          but more common in people with atypical neurology, including those with 
          autistic spectrum disorders.

          condition impairs a person's ability to recognize human faces. It appears 
          to be somewhat more common in autistic spectrum disorders, but is usually 
          a result of brain damage. It is not the same as being able to connect 
          a name to a person. In autistic people, what appears to be prosopagnosia 
          may actually be due to lack of eye contact or social interest.
