Weird facial expression....

Post Reply New Topic

I've had numerous people tell me I do this (coworkers I talk to, acquaintances, my boyfriend, and my few other friends)- after I laugh, I immediately make a stone cold serious face a split second after I'm done laughing. It's just a smooth gapless transition from laughter to serious neutrality, no smile to break in between. Could this be tied to the Asperger's I'm quite certain I have? I had never noticed I do it until 5+ people pointed it out that it happens.

I have weird facial expressions to lol. My sister loves pointing them out also for as long I as I can remember, I never know how to transition from a smile to a 'normal' face. But I never thought this could be related to aspergers. But I'm guessing it probably is.

I am weird facial expression. It's not exactly a strong career trait. With an ipod I have found I can "get away" with my quirks because a lot of them get subsumed under "rocking out."

I still can hear my father saying "don't rock, people will think you're autistic." That was, what, 40 years ago. Long live rock.

Appearently I have wierd facial expressions too, well that's what one teacher said on my Aspergers ranking quiz for my diagnosis, and I haven't asked him yet.
...I think it is to do with Aspergers...I chew the inside of my cheek a lot when I'm thinking, and what I think is a blank, neutral face makes people think that I am angry with them.
One time, when I was little, my parents told me off cause they thought I was smiling and I wasn't...

Oh, yeah. I've been told - quite out of the blue - that I look like I'm contemplating murder, or adopting a "stupid" expression, or ...

I think these NTs are so accustomed to their in-tune companions producing the right expression for a moment that they react disproportionately to someone applying different logic to the occasion.
