Hmm, I'll try to be succinct.
No!
If & when anyone even tried to take my picture. I seldom smile today, even when I am happy. Unless I remember I should..
Sincerely,
Matthew |

I have not read the replies.
At my parents house there's a picture of me taken in kindergarten, when I was about 4 years old.
My smile looks kinda strange in the picture and I'm holding a toy.
I can actually remember the photographer trying to coax me to smile, and the combination of the toy and the silly photographer made my lips twitch for a second, and I'll have to express my admiration for the photographers skill as he was able to capture that in a split second.
There's also a couple of pictures of me from grade/elementary school where I smile, but the smile looks strained and I don't recognize myself in those pictures. I see that it's me, but the facial expression is off. |

I start to smile, then when the flash goes, the picture comes out and I'm squinting and frowning.  |

| I have some pretty goofy expressions in my childhood pictures. In school pictures I was always told to smile, but I didn't like to because it felt odd and awkward and I felt that I looked ridiculous smiling, so I didn't want to. So my school pictures are full of half smiles or weird smirks. Not sure if that has anythig to do with AS though. |

Oh yes, a big, huge, cheesy smile. I always mean to smile like I actually smile in real life, then at the last minute I do the cheesy smile.

| Some yes and some no. The older I got, the harder it was for me to smile in photos. Now it's extremely hard for me to smile in photos unles I'm drunk or by myself and using my web cam. |

Yes, but my facial expressions were very exaggerated.

It is strange when I look back on it from this point of view... I was just wondering if others have the same experience when they look back. |
When I saw this thread, I thought to myself, of course I smiled at school on the group photo day, I must have.
I just checked the photos, I didn't smile at 7y, and I didn't smile at 12y. Weird

| I didn't smile in some of my photos, but in some others, I did. Maybe it was because I was taught to (thus fake smiles), or I just did it naturally. I remember one school photo of me as a kid, on which it looked more like I was smirking than smiling. |

Occasionally as a child, but only because I was told to. As an adult, never. It's just another one of those stupid societal rules that I abhor. "Oh, you HAVE to smile when having your picture taken!" Like hell I do.
