You manage your face and voice uncommonly well, so I would say not. I'm not even a marginally competent diagnostician, though.

Those skills can be self-taught with someone who has extremely mild ASD. So i'm guessing if you (Aella) do have ASD, it's extremely high functioning.

for verrrry many years i would describe my facial muscles as moving under my conscious control, like i would have to intentionally 'make facial expressions' when talking. i think its less so now but ive had a very weird relationship with my face for as long as i remember
You did good work. It is like watching a professional dancer, in that one can see both natural and trained movement but can't tell which came first.
Anecdotally (as someone on the ASD) i have some inferential knowledge. And i highly relate to this concept when it comes to conversational and social cues.
I was between "no but maybe something else" and "yes." But now i'm more strongly leaning "Yes."
