Interpreting facial expressions

Post Reply New Topic

I've read that individuals with Autistic Spectrum Disorders (Asperger's specifically), when they look at human facial expressions such as those expressing anger, sadness, etc., that they interpret facial expressions logically and not intuitively, contributing to their difficulty with processing facial expressions and with dealing with social situations.

When I see, for example, an angry face, I immediately process it emotionally and I intuitively know it as the sign of anger.

However, I took the Asperger's online quiz, created/designed by Simon Baron-Cohen, and my AQ score came back as 38. This means that I likely have Asperger's.

So, I'm just confused right now...

I do not see a whole face, but a collection of chracters. If I happen to be looking at a mouth that smiles, I can tell that someone is happy.

I'm a little clueless too, although I didn't really know until recently. I just thought that everyone in the world was mad at me for something. But it turns out that I guess anger way more often than it actually occurs. I used to guess mostly based on the timing of the words in the sentences that were being spoken, but now I just wonder. I'm hoping I learn more now that the problem has been identified.

The thing is, I usually don't have trouble understanding mood in movies and tv, but maybe this is because of the soundtrack...-(:/)/

I get more information from the sound of someones voice.

I can relate to seeing "parts of the face" versus the whole facial expression and logicking it from there. I think really obvious ones like "happy" "sad" or "angry" are easier as you reach adulthood. However, I think you still struggle with the more nuanced ones like "satisfied" or "dissapointed." I think it also is a combination of the expression as well as understanding why said expression is occurring.

I am definately not good a nuance or what it means if one emotion transitions to another. The order and intensity seem to mean something.

I can decipher obvious facial expressions. But I fail pretty badly when I take tests to interpret more subtle expressions.
