Facial Expressions

Post Reply New Topic

Do any of you get told that you are making odd faces or that you have unusual facial expressions? I get told that a lot. My mom says that my resting face is unusual and looks sort of like what is known by some as "duckface". I don't know I am doing anything with my face and I don't realize it until she points it out, but it is just what feels natural to me. I wonder if this is an Autism thing or not, having a unique resting face and/or being unaware of your own facial expressions.

I have difficulty with facial expressions, mine are often twitchy and I'm self conscious for some reason. Also, when I'm confronted or unfairly criticized (another words insulted) by others I tend to get extremely odd facial expressions. I am capable of recognizing happiness but not much else.
