Show Notes

This is the interesting truth about autism facial expressions and the understanding of facial emotions. As autism impacts the communication part of the brain, there is no surprise that Autistc people have major issues with understanding and identifying peoples facial expressions. But it isn’t just identifying other peoples facial expressions it’s also knowing how to form the appropriate facial expression can be super difficult for autistic people to understand. There are a few reasons why this may be an issue. First off it is common for autistic people to not make eye contact which would cause a lack of visually looking at someone’s face. Another reason is that the communication issues that impact people on the autism spectrum can interfere with the way in which you track and observe emotions on peoples faces.
