Lack of emotional display - help

One of the signs of my autism seems to be a distinct lack of emotion in my expression and when I talk. Its not something I realised before until it was brought up. Now it seems to be an issue in my relationship. I'm seen to look miserable and when I speak it becomes very monotone and without any enthusiasm.

Does anyone else have this? If so how do you deal with it as it hurts to be seen to be miserable and come across negatively to people I deal with. I feel like a robot that isn't capable of displaying emotion and excitement like someone 'typical'

  • Yes I have this difficulty and try to joke about my resting *** face but actually it really stings when my husband comments about my expression. I end up pushing him away by saying it’s just because I’m ugly. I’m sorry I have nothing useful to say but I want you to know that you are not alone.
