Some, but not all, people with Asperger's Syndrome (AS) suffer from face blindness (prosopagnosia), a condition in which they have difficulty with facial recognition. It is one of the conditions known to occur occasionally with autism and Asperger's Syndrome.

Some people with AS have traits that seem similar to face blindness but is not. A person with Asperger's Syndrome who avoids looking at people will have difficulty identifying them by face. A person with Asperger's Syndrome might only look at a person's mouth and not other parts of the face.

Does the daughter and son suffer from color blindness if their mother is suffering from the color blindness disorder?

If the mother is color blind, the son will be color blind. The daughter will only be color blind if the father is also color blind. As to if they will suffer from it, that depends on their self esteem and whether or not they choose to view themselves as a victim as their mother apparently does. It should be noted that although many people have color blindness, it is rare to actually suffer from it. One possible way that one might suffer is if s/he were attempting to disarm a bomb and could not tell what color the wires were.
