Finding / seeing faces in things?

I read that the possible reason we see faces in things is because humans are soooo very social by nature, and the first thing they notice about other people is their face. So how is it so many of us ND people can see faces in things if we're so socially disabled?

There's specialized "brain hardware" for this. It would be strange if it was absent in ND's.
False positives are natural.

It wouldn't be strange if ND "sensitivity thresholds" were on average lower than NT - but I don't know one way or the other.
