I'm not able to read faces.
I have always known that it is a common symptom of autism, but never payed much attention to it until recently. I have been actively trying to label the cues and emotions expressed in faces, but i can't put place them on a spectrum with more resolution than just happy, sad, angry, and annoyed, any nuance is lost. Often I can't really tell what my own face is saying when i a look at a picture of myself, although i have feeling others can't either.
I have also read that many people who have this problem (autism or not) are prone to interpreting a facial expression as being more negative than it is.
