For you, non-autistic, you see an emotion or can guess one. I see, and interpret "I too have brown eyes Brown hair Bottom teeth Clean hair Neutral makeup"
Maybe that's an issue with the implication(s) in the "me too" meme instead of a more verbose explanation?
I Can Not Guess what they're feeling. And if I guess, it's wrong.
Oh, I get that, I just think it's unfair for people to assume that a face always accurately conveys emotion that should probably be explained in text. It's not all on you.
Ok this face could be fear, anger, this person could be about to Cry Assault me Demand food Tell a joke
Thing is, I agree, even from a "normie" standpoint. It's vague, and lacking context and explanation, it's poor communication *on their part*, not just something in the interpretation.
I think you could guess. I think you could look at that person irl and not duck from a fist
Is that just a problem with photos, though? In person, there are other cues, but certainly sometimes people don't match their faces to their communication.
I don't know I never see. I never know. So I do stupid things like try and offer a hug to a person throwing a tantrum. Or run away from a tender face.
But it's not stupid because I'm not stupid. I'm just face blind
Oh, agreed, it's not a matter of mental acuity, it's just a quirk you're stuck with. :(
