Hello, can anyone tell me if this is experienced by people with autism? Both my son and I have a problem with smiling if being told bad news, like when being told someone has passed away. It also happens when I'm telling someone sad news.
I will describe it as a smirk or smile and can't quire describe what I'm feeling. I feel bad for doing this, but can't seem to help it.
Has anyone here came across this reaction before? Maybe it's due to anxiety or because we are not able to deal with the sadness?
Thank you.
