Urelated to the original post, but my old man is autistic (undiagnosed, but we're all pretty sure), and I find the notion that his emotions are not facially conveyed quite heartening.

He seldom smiles - although when he does it's genuine. I think we as a family have sometimes made the mistake of projecting emotion onto his often expressionless face, and assuming negative ones.

It's easy to conclude that he's indifferent or bored, when he's maybe just not naturally able to convey what he's feeling through expression, which I hadn't really considered.
