Besides, what kind of falsification you're talking about it here? there's no typical physical characteristics for autistics or AS, it's not like the William' Syndrome or Down Syndrome...
Facial symmetry is what often defines photogenic faces, this due to the single lens being used to copy something we otherwise would percieve in stereo. It's less obvious the further away from the lens the object is however.
Feel free to read further:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facial_symmetryAutism has many Very typical physical features,
I'm not going to rummage through it all but as a few examples are having lower corners of the mouth compared with the upper lip, the top of the ears may flop over, ears may be lower and tend to be more square shaped, among other things.Further the facial nucleus is reduced in size and sometimes missing fully. As a result the face becomes asymmetrical to some extent in most cases.

Huh...some of this is interesting, I'll have to look it up. However, I'm confused whenever the word autism is used in lose terms. Autism itself is seperate from aspergers. It's just that the autstic community like this one prefers aspergers use the terminology autism as in the autistic spectrum so that it's equal among autistics and people with aspegers. But the stark contrasts are noticeably different between the two.
Anyway I really don't see the resemblances of faces of those on the autstic spectrum. I know one trait is looking blank or expressionless yet I come across people that look quite the opposite. Then again maybe the ones that don't appear nerdy or frozen in time are neurotypicals in denial!
