• 0:55
  So awesome. Facial expressions.
• 0:57
  I want to do this video because I find it really interesting,
• 0:59
  the, you know, the the inside and the insight about bosses and
• 1:03
  facial expressions and understanding facial emotions
• 1:06
  because We all have facial expressions, we all have facial
• 1:09
  emotions, but it's super interesting when it comes down
• 1:12
  to autism. Now as an off, as awesome
• 1:14
  impact, the communication part of the brain.
• 1:17
  It's no surprise. That was typical of a major
• 1:19
  issue with trying to understand and identify facial expressions
• 1:23
  from a person. And this means, like, if
• 1:25
  somebody is sad or angry or upset, or inquisitive the facial
• 1:29
  expression that they pull will not be communicated in that way,
• 1:33
  to the person who is on the autism spectrum.
• 1:35
  So the autistic person won't look at pthere count of, you
• 1:38
  know, the person having a conversation with and look at
• 1:40
  their facial expressions and say, hmm.
• 1:42
  I know this person's inquiry what?
• 1:43
  Something I know they're upset or sad.
• 1:45
  It's very difficult to do that. Now there are a few reasons for
• 1:48
  why this may be an issue first off.
• 1:50
  It's common for autistic people to not really make eye contact,
• 1:53
  right? We all know and we have done a
• 1:54
  bunch of videos on different shades of authors and one of the
• 1:56
  most prominent ones is making eye.
• 1:58
  Contact is difficult for people on the autism spectrum.
• 2:00
  So the never really looking in the eyes of a person and
• 2:03
  maintaining eye contact is super difficult as well.
• 2:05
  So for a person to Have lack of eye contact, then they're not
• 2:08
  looking at someone's face. So how would they even know what
• 2:11
  these expression? You're pulling.
• 2:12
  It's not looking you in the face, right?
• 2:14
  Which is really interesting. There is another reason though
• 2:17
  that the communication part that impacts, that the autistic
• 2:20
  person can interfere with the way that you track, an
• 2:24
  unobserved emotions and people's faces.
• 2:26
  So how how you identify some of these, you know, feeling a
• 2:30
  certain way, right? An emotion that comes out from a
• 2:32
  person's physical appearance is that you track their emotions
• 2:35
  through there. Facial observations.
• 2:38
  So you look at the face and you say, well, you know, they look
• 2:40
  like they're crying or laughing or they're happy or they're sad
• 2:43
  or whatever. And that is how you can convey
• 2:45
  that the emotion that they have in your mind is kind of like a
• 2:50
  knowing how the other person is feeling and kind of like, trying
• 2:53
  to judge their kind of a next move because of that crying and
• 2:56
  I want to, you know, wipe the tears, we might want to go to
• 2:58
  the toilet white, wash, their face or whatever.
• 3:00
  So it's really difficult to judge.
• 3:02
  What's what now, autistic people have a huge issue with this.
• 3:05
  And I myself a chef Issue with this.
• 3:07
  And it's funny because I don't know if someone's angry sad or
• 3:11
  upset or whatever, unless they like crying like really, really
• 3:14
  upset and crying. All I said, they're really happy
• 3:16
  and I laughing and I know those two, because there's more than
• 3:19
  just looking at their faces for this.
• 3:20
  Now, the other ones are between is difficult.
• 3:23
  I feel like I heard. He's grumpy all the time and
• 3:25
  that's all I can see, is people being grumpy.
• 3:26
  You can't really take towels on happy or not, which is really
• 3:28
  difficult to kind of, like, figure out and, you know,
• 3:32
  possibly understand. But there's another part that
• 3:35
  comes with autism, facial expressions.
• 3:37
  Right that autistic people can't identify facial expressions and
• 3:40
  people off our emotions through facial expressions.
• 3:42
  But then also autistic people have it in a bad time, actually
• 3:47
  conveying their own emotions through, facial expressions, to
• 3:49
  other people. Now, my girlfriend always ask me
• 3:52
  like, why are you angry? What's going on?
• 3:53
  I'm like, I'm not angry. She's like, oh, you got such an
• 3:55
  angry face on. Oh my God.
• 3:56
  No, I'm just, you know, just hanging out.
• 3:58
  You know? I'm just being me and so she
• 4:01
  came. She can't understand why my
• 4:04
  facial expression doesn't match up to how I'm feeling, which is
• 4:06
  really interesting. She said it yesterday as well.
• 4:08
  She said that, like when I'm happy I don't show happiness to
• 4:10
  emotions my face. I probably just say that I'm
• 4:13
  happy you. This is really interesting and
• 4:15
  not but she doesn't like having you know around taught me.
• 4:17
  Anything like that was nothing like that.
• 4:18
  She's just observing and telling me.
• 4:20
  So I could understand and learn well make this video you know.
• 4:24
  And so it's really interesting. You know, when you're dealing
• 4:26
  with people on the autism spectrum, you have to be mindful
• 4:28
  of the fact that they may not understand the typical forms of
• 4:32
  communication that you take for granted and the other way around
• 4:35
  that their form of Ian will be totally different from yours and
• 4:38
  they may not understand what you're doing, either.
• 4:40
  So, you know, when you're looking at us as a person and
• 4:44
  try to figure out the happy or sad from a kind of facial
• 4:45
  expression that in ever going to happen and you're never gonna be
• 4:48
  able to figure that out because it's just not something that
• 4:50
  happens. It's you're not it's not it's
• 4:52
  not a formula, it's going to work.
• 4:55
  You have to either ask them or know them to know if they're
• 4:58
  happy or sad because of the situation you're in basically.
• 5:00
