[QUOTE="buddy, post: 504362, member: 12886"] This is so priceless! It really is a part of their disability, I truly believe that. Remember the thread about how Q was asking how to make a smile? He has always laughed when people fall down even if they are hurt and he asks if they are ok in a nice way, he LOOKS like he doesn't care. People have said this enough that instead of his adjusting his expression which seems too hard sometimes, he started matching his comments to his face... saying not so nice things. There is a great website and I will have to look for it again.... I have it bookmarked on an old crashed computer and used it at work a lot. It has faces where you can adjust the characteristics of the eye brows, mouth, etc...to give the avitar different expressions. you can play games like guessing the feeling that goes with it etc. If I can find it I will add it to this thread. At times when you are not upset about this it could be fun to play face games in a mirror, kind of like charades... and you can narrate your facial expressions at times too... Q will actually ask me... Is that a mad face or a thinking face? Are you being serious or is that a kidding face. He really does not see it (autism yes, but also connected specifically to the area of his brain injury) Can you imagine figuring out the world by misperceiving facial expressions and not being able to regulate your own (and then having people be upset with you for that year after year???) But make no mistake, I understand it can be human to react and be upset... I have been there many times for this very issue. [/QUOTE]
